WELCOME TO ALL OUR VISITORS A very warm welcome to all our visitors, and especially to all those ex-Sutton & Wawne folk who may have long since left these 'gentle climes' for other abodes in the far corners of this globe. With special greetings for those of you now settled in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa or the USA, and anywhere within our Commonwealth and this great world-wide family of English-speaking peoples. For all of you who were born, worshipped 
or were married here in Sutton or Wawne,or have loved ones resting here - to you all, wherever in the world you live now, an especially warm welcome indeed. We're pleased you have discovered us - do enjoy. Clicking the buttons further below will start or stop a short peal of Sutton's bells. They were added at Christmas, 2003. Photos of all 14 CWGC War Graves in St James' churchyard are posted on the appropriate page, added for Armistice Day in 2009. Photos of the further 5 Family War Graves and Memorials were added in time for Armistice Day in 2014. A database of the 420+ men on all of our memorial plaques was started in 2014, and is now nearing completion. What we have so far can be seen here in the Museum ~ Lest We Forget  May you all enjoy your visit and brief stay with us. We hope you will call again. And of course, if you have a Family History query we can help with . . . we're here to help !
