Sutton

About

Sutton ward encompasses a mainly rural part of North East Derbyshire, centred on the village of Sutton Scarsdale. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland and scattered settlements, with a mix of agricultural land and pockets of woodland. The area sits within the wider historic coal mining region, though this industry has largely receded.

A prominent feature is the substantial ruined shell of Sutton Scarsdale Hall, an 18th-century Baroque mansion that stands exposed on a hilltop. The ward includes the smaller communities of Duckmanton and part of Arkwright Town, with the latter being a planned village built in the 1990s to replace its predecessor due to mining subsidence. The M1 motorway runs along its western edge.
