Spirit of Sutterby is a community heritage project focused on the deserted medieval village of Sutterby, a small hamlet in the Lincolnshire Wolds. The project explores the village’s history, researches its archival records, documents its present-day character and supports its future. Its work also extends to nearby villages and the landscapes around them, helping build a broader understanding of local heritage.

Through its website, Spirit of Sutterby shares historical research, archival documents, original document images, wills, inventories, photographs and information about the village church, churchyard, medieval settlement and natural history. The project also offers history talks, lectures, events and workshops, alongside news, a calendar, recipes and details of other community heritage activities. Visitors can find project updates, browse resources and connect through the project’s online channels.

Spirit of Sutterby welcomes community interest and participation. Its work is supported by the Lincolnshire Wolds Countryside Service, the Harrington Estate and Friends of Friendless Churches. The project notes that access to estate land requires permission; the church and churchyard are accessible to visitors.
