Sutton Cheney is a small, historic village and civil parish in the district of Hinckley and Bosworth in Leicestershire, England, set in low-lying agricultural countryside close to Market Bosworth. The parish is crossed by quiet lanes and footpaths and is popular with walkers and country visitors, offering a compact cluster of traditional stone and brick cottages, a village green atmosphere and a couple of local inns.
It is best known for its association with the 1485 Battle of Bosworth Field, and the nearby battlefield and heritage centre draw reenactments and history enthusiasts, helping to support a modest local tourism economy alongside farming; many residents also commute to Hinckley or Leicester for work. Community life remains village-centred, with events and activities that celebrate the area’s historic landscape.
