History
Sutton on the Hill is mentioned twice in the Domesday Book where it is spelt Sudtun and Sudtune. The book says[5] there is one carucate which is a berewick of the manor of Mickleover which at that time belonged to the Abbey of Burton together with other berewicks which included Dalbury, Sudbury and Hilton.
Later, the book lists under the title of "The lands of Henry de Ferrers":[6]
"In Sutton on the hill Thorir, Alweald, Ubeinn, Leofwine and Eadric had two carucates of land to the geld. There is land for three ploughs. There are now three ploughs in demesne and nine villans having seven ploughs. There is a priest and a church and one mill rendering 10 shillings and twenty four acres of meadow. TRE[7] as now sixty shillings. Wazelin holds it."
The parish of Sutton on the Hill used to contain the settlements of Ash, Osleston and Thurvaston. The manor had at one time been owned by the Blue Coat Hospital and Library in Manchester as it was bought as part of charity set up in the will of Humphrey Chetham. The rights to appoint the vicar was purchased by German Buckston(e) in 1834.[8] In 1801 Sutton on the Hill's total population was 388. In 1901 it was 124, and by 1961 it was 95.[9]
