Barbara Sutton, 83, puffed on a cigarette and drank a coffee and sparkling water at a local Detroit watering hole in the Cass Corridor. Don't let appearances fool you, she is spirited and young at heart, and anything but a shut-in. As recently as three years ago she traveled to Italy and stayed in a youth hostel.
"I've lived in Detroit my whole life. I've never lived in the suburbs. That's not my kind of thing."

Church of St James, Sutton Cheney Leicestershire - There was a church here pre 1100 AD.
Until the end of the 18c the church stood on the main village street which passed its north wall before swinging away to Ambion Hill and the battlefield of Bosworth. However after the village enclosure in 1794 the church no longer stands in the centre but back from the new village street.
The troops of Richard III passed it on their way to Bosworth, and by tradition Richard himself heard mass here for the last time on 22nd August in 1485. (In recent times a memorial has been placed on the north wall of the nave by the Richard lll Society www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/q55S66 , around which there is an annual service, held on the Sunday nearest to that date)
The present building now comprises of an early 13c nave and south aisle , 14c chancel which was rebuilt in 1905. The 15c tower which was originally higher than at present,, is now topped by an early 19c brick bell tower . It has 4 bells dating 1593; 1636; 1678 & 1724 and 2 further treble bells reclaimed from other redundant churches. The south porch has also vanished.
The font survives from the 14c. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/01048b
Until it became prosperous in industry and agriculture by 1882 it was part of the parish of Market Bosworth as a chapel of ease, In 1923 it was linked with Cadeby
Before and after 1066 the major part of the manor which included a windmill, was owned by Croyland Abbey. Their tenant farmer named Chainell gave his name to its original name Sutton Cheynell
By 1279 there were 3 distinct manors - Verdon (Theobald de Verdon), Hastings (John Hastings) later in 1292 passed to Gilbert de Houby; and Croyland. By 1564 there were 25 families living here . Elizabeth heiress of Anthony Houby brought her share of the manor to husband James Beler of Kettleby.
In 1630 the freeholders were Sir William Roberts, Richard May, William Drakeley and John Swinfen.
Lying on a table tomb on the north wall of the chancel is William Roberts 1633 which he erected in his lifetime. It has been moved several times around the church and on my visit it was in pieces being restored. This enabled me to see the side normally against the wall. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/4Lb0y6 Both his wives originally knelt at the east end of the tomb, and are now above him on a wall monument www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/2y5fxu In the Civil War the Roberts family supported the Royalist cause and Sir William "the younger"was fined 780 shillings in September 1646 by Parliament, for his "delinquency" of "leaving his own house and residing in the enemy's garrisons"
