Sutton St. James in the district of South Holland, Lincolnshire, England is a small rural village and civil parish set in the famously flat, drained landscape of the Fens. The surrounding countryside is characterised by low-lying arable fields, straight roads and a network of drainage ditches and pumping stations that give the area its wide skies and long views.
The local economy is dominated by agriculture and horticulture, with market-grown vegetables, potatoes and bulb growing common, and the village community is centred on its parish church, village hall and occasional local events. Historic threads run through the place too: buildings and layout reflect medieval and post-medieval settlement and the long history of fen reclamation, while its quiet, close-knit character and links to nearby market towns make it typical of south Lincolnshire rural life.
