*************
Long Sutton, is a market town in the South Holland district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies in the Lincolnshire Fens, close to the Wash and 13 miles (21 km) east from Spalding.
Long Sutton was historically in the wapentake of Elloe[2] in the Parts of Holland. The Friday market dates back to the early 13th century when the town was a prosperous trading centre.[citation needed] By the mid-14th century, it was considered[by whom?] to be one of the richest communities in Lincolnshire.[citation needed]
Prosperity continued into the 20th century, helped by the arrival of the railways.[citation needed] In the 1950s eleven trains would daily transport passengers and local produce to and from the town.[citation needed] Long Sutton railway station on the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway closed in 1959 when passenger services were withdrawn.[citation needed]
In 1987 a Butterfly Park was opened near Long Sutton. The park was closed in October 2012 after a series of losses and bad weather.[3]
On 21 June 2012, at about 2:30 pm, a tornado hit Long Sutton. Particular damage was caused in Woad Lane with the tornado "leaving a trail of destruction in its wake".[4]
own public houses are the Olde Ship Inn on London Road, the Crown and Woolpack on High Street, and the Corn Exchange and the Granary on Market Street.
Long Sutton County Primary School is located on Dick Turpin Way in the centre of Long Sutton; it has about 400 pupils. The Peele Community College is the local co-educational secondary modern school.
St Mary's Church has a 13th-century lead-covered timber spire. It is of a similar design to Chesterfield's twisted spire but Long Sutton's spire is straight. It is the highest, oldest and best-preserved lead spire in England and possibly Europe.[citation needed] The church is a Grade I listed building.[10]
The town has many examples of Georgian architecture.[citation needed]
