Long Sutton is a market town and civil parish in the district of South Holland, Lincolnshire, England, set in the flat agricultural landscape of The Fens and close to the estuary of The Wash. Its position on historic local routes and on drained fenland made it a natural trading and service centre for surrounding villages and farms, with nearby settlements such as Sutton Bridge forming part of the local network.
Today the town keeps a distinct market‑town feel with independent shops, community groups and churches, and an economy still closely linked to intensive arable and vegetable farming across the reclaimed marshes. The built environment and local customs reflect a long history of fenland drainage and agriculture, giving Long Sutton a mix of historic buildings, practical rural industry and active local social life.
