Sutton-on-the-Hill

Despite its name, this is a sheltered spot, with only the church standing on the hill. The Parish Church of St Michael has a 14th-century tower with a spire that was rebuilt in 1841. A few other parts are 14th century, but mostly the church was rebuilt in 1863. It contains an unusual monument to Judith Sleigh, who died in 1634. It is a standing coffin with handles carved in black stone.

A cheese factory was built here in 1875, as in other local villages, but closed down due to competition and the building is now private housing. There was also a water mill, again now private housing.

Cricket fans will take special pleasure in visiting Sutton-on-the-Hill, as it was the family home of G. M. and R. H. R. Buckston, both of whom captained the Derbyshire cricket team.
