The village of Sutton Bonnington is located in the Rushcliffe district of south Nottinghamshire.
Sutton Bonington is an unusual village in that it has two medieval churches, St Michael's and St Anne's, a legacy from the days when Sutton and Bonington were two separate villages.
The church of St Michael was originally the parish church for Bonington, it has a 15th century west tower topped by a 135ft high spire.

The original name for Plymouth was Sutton, and it was only in the 20th century that we saw the vast expansion of Plymouth to take in and absorb neighbouring towns to become the vast metropolis that we know today. Sutton Harbour is immediately to the south of Plymouth's city centre.
There are several marinas in the waters around Plymouth, and this is the innermost one, in Sutton Harbour itself. There is also a large fish market on the east side of the harbour, and this is where most of the fishing boats are moored when they are not at sea. On the west side of Plymouth alongside the River Tamar is Devonport, which is home to the largest naval base in western Europe.
Located in Derbyshire this is the shell of a once very fine country house. Remodelled in 1724 by Francis Smith for the 4th Earl of Scarsdale. It came into the ownership of Richard Arkwright (son of the Cromford Mill Arkwrights) in 1824 and remained in their family until 1920. Afterwards, dismantling and years of neglect led to the hall's present state and it is now in the care of English Heritage.

LUND’S TOWER (KNOWN LOCALLY AS SUTTON PINNACLE) SITS ON TOP OF EARL CRAG AT 1175 FEET WHICH OVER LOOKS THE AIREDALE VALLEY AND THE BEAUTIFUL MARKET TOWN OF SUTTON-IN-CRAVEN IN YORKSHIRE.
IT SEEMS THAT AWEALTHY YORKSHIREMAN HAD A FETISH ABOUT BUILDING MONUMENTS HIGH ON SURROUNDING HILLS.
THE CASTELLATED TOWER HAS A NARROW SPIRAL STAIR CASE ALLOWING ACCESS TO THE TOP OF THE TOWER, WHICH IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ACCESS ANYTIME OF THE DAY.
THE HISTORY OF WHY IT WAS BUILT IS VAGUE BUT ONE THEORY IS THAT IT WAS ERECTED BY JAMES LUND OF MALSIS HALL AS AN EYE CATCHER AND PROBABLY FOR HIS DAUGHTER ETHEL, AN ALTERNATIVE THEORY IS THAT IT WAS BUILT IN 1897 TO MARK QUEEN VICTORIA'S DIAMOND JUBILEE.
