Little Sutton is a small rural settlement in the district of South Holland, in Lincolnshire, England. Set in the low-lying Fens, the landscape is very flat and dominated by arable fields, drains and dykes, reflecting centuries of land‑reclamation; the coast and tidal marshes of The Wash are not far away. The village sits within easy reach of market towns such as Long Sutton and Spalding, which provide services and weekly markets for the local farming community.
Economically and socially, Little Sutton is closely tied to agriculture and horticulture, with local life revolving around small farms, seasonal work and community amenities typical of fenland villages. Historically the area grew up through drainage and reclamation projects and retains a quiet, close‑knit character: village halls, parish churches and occasional agricultural shows remain important focal points for residents rather than any large commercial or industrial activity.
