King's Sutton's church of SS Peter & Paul features one of the loveliest spires in the county, a wonderfully elegant late medieval steeple adorned with pinnacles and flying buttresses at it's base. It is a superb landmark, visible for miles around.
The church below it is a largely 14th century structure consisting of nave with aisles and chancel. The interior of the nave is quite spacious, with it's aisles almost as wide as it is long; the chancel has been somewhat restored, judging by the neo-Norman wall arcading though parts of the present building date back to the 12th century, such as the transitional south nave arcade and the large, plain and rough-hewn font.
The furnishings are mostly Victorian, including the stained glass (east window by Wailes, another in the south aisle by Preedy). The chief item of interest is the fascinating sculpted plaster monument by John Bacon Jnr on the south chancel wall, showing a resurrected Christ (attended by an angel) triumphant over the shrouded skeleton figure of Death, whose rib-cage yawns open hideously.

New Hall Mill, a Grade II* listed building, is one of only two water mills still surviving in the Birmingham area. The Mill and its meadow field are privately owned and managed by the New Hall Water Mill Preservation Trust.
Although surrounded by the New Hall Valley Country Park, the Mill is only open to the general public on specific Open Days.
Now restored to a working condition, New Hall Mill is located off Wylde Green Road, Walmley, Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham.
The present structure dates from the 18th century, although some parts are much older. In the past the mill had two internal waterwheels but now, after rebuilding, the power required to drive the present two pairs of millstones is derived from a single external overshot waterwheel, with most other items of the various milling machinery being powered by a Ruston Hornby diesel engine.
The Friends of New Hall Mill maintain the Mill in a working condition and operate it during the regular Open Days. Visitors are then able to explore the mill at their own pace to watch the wheat being milled into flour using water power and mill stones in the traditional manner.

The ruinous shell of Sutton Scarsdale Hall is seen by many as they travel along the Derbyshire stretch of the M1 motorway. Sutton Scarsdale Hall was remodeled from an earlier outbuilding in 1724 by Francis Smith of Warwick for Nicholas, fourth Earl of Scarsdale and was one of the finest country houses in Derbyshire at that time.
The interior was once very rich with superb plasterwork by Atari and Vassali some of which can still be seen, monumental carved marble fireplaces and a very superior carved mahogany staircase. The whole was set in formal gardens and a fine landscaped park, now parlty given over to agriculture. Much was known of the craftsmen who worked on the hall, thanks to a leaden plaque once attached to the fabric, but now lost.
Following the death of the fourth Earl of Scarsdale, Godfrey Clarke of Somersall Hall in Derbyshire purchased the estate in 1740. Ownership was subsequently transferred by marriage to the Marquis of Ormonde. In 1824 following the Marquises death, Richard Arkwright, son of the Cromford Mill Arkwrights, became the new owner and the estate remained in the family until 1920.
Sutton Scarsdale Hall then fell into a sad state of disrepair. After years of neglect, a consortium of Chesterfield businessmen purchased the property but due to its poor general state, it was decided to dismantle the building and sell off the contents including the lead roof. The hall deteriorated even more until in 1946 Sir Osbert Sitwell of Renishaw Hall purchased the surviving shell with the intention of preserving the remains as a ruin.
Some of the interior fixtures now reside in the United States at the Philadelphia Museum. Sutton Scarsdale Hall is now in the care of English Heritage and is freely accessible to visitors. It is a Listed Grade 1 building.
Sutton Bridge Junction was once a three-way deviation with the line to Bridgnorth going off under the bridge to the rear of the signal box. The other two lines are the Down Main to Hereford and diverging right, the Heart of Mid Wales route to Aberystwyth. The commodious box here thus features windows on all three sides at the northern end.
