Sutterton is a village and rural parish in Lincolnshire, England.

Government

Hitherto, the parish had formed part of Boston Rural District, in Parts of Holland. Holland was one of the three divisions of the traditional County of Lincolnshire. Since the Local Government Act of 1888 Holland had been, in most respects, a county in itself.

The village is one of eighteen parishes which, together with Boston, form the Lincolnshire Borough of Boston. Local governance has been arranged as such since the reorganization of 1 April 1974, resulting from the Local Government Act 1972. The parish forms part of the 'Five Villages' electoral ward. Sutterton parish church is dedicated to St Mary the Blessed Virgin.^[1]
