Sutton is a small village in the district of Chichester in West Sussex, England, set on the fringe of the South Downs and within easy reach of the Sussex coast and the city of Chichester. Its location gives a pleasant mix of rolling downland scenery and access to the cultural and shopping amenities of the nearby city.
The village retains a distinctly rural character, with flint-and-brick cottages and a parish church that reflects its long history; historically agricultural, the local economy today combines farming, small local businesses and a number of commuters. Community life is typically village-centred - the hall, pub and annual events help keep a close-knit social scene while residents enjoy quick drives to theatres, markets and coastal recreation.
