Sutton Village Conservation Area, Kingston upon Hull
Sutton on Hull retains the character of a traditional village with winding streets of mediaeval origin overlooked by a 14th century church and some property boundaries recalling the mediaeval open field system. In the19th century, proximity to Kingston upon Hull led to the development of institutional buildings and big houses for wealthy residents from the city. During the course of the mid to late 20th century the village became surrounded by modern housing estates. It does, however, retain extensive areas of green space with many trees and bushes throughout.
