The village of Sutton cum Lound, in the district of Bassetlaw in Nottinghamshire, sits just east of the market town of Retford on the low-lying floodplain of the River Idle. It is a small civil parish with a distinctly rural character, surrounded by arable fields and hedgerows and within easy reach of the A1 and wider transport links to Nottingham and Sheffield.
Historically the settlement has agricultural roots going back to medieval times, and today the village mixes long-standing farming families with commuters who work in nearby towns. Sutton cum Lound retains a strong community feel with local events and a modest stock of older cottages and buildings that hint at its past, while modest modern housing reflects its role as a quiet residential and rural community.
