History
The church is medieval but was rebuilt in 1854 and 1867.[2] It contains a rare 12th century pillar piscina[1] and the remains of the font top from the original Norman church.[3]
By American searches, on 5 July 1607, Edward FitzRandolph was baptised at St. Mary's Church Sutton, marrying Elizabeth Blossom in Scituate, Massachusetts - they are Barack Obama's 10x great-grandparents.[4]
