Long Sutton, is a market town in the South Holland district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies the Lincolnshire Fens, close to the Wash and east from Spalding. == History == Long Sutton was historically in the wapentake of Elloe〔http://domesdaymap.co.uk/hundred/elloe/ Domesday Map Online: Long Sutton〕 in the Parts of Holland. The Friday market dates back to the early 13th century when the town was a prosperous trading centre. By the mid-14th century, it was considered to be one of the richest communities in Lincolnshire. Within St Mary's Church can be found a memorial inscribed "''Alas Poor Bailey''". This is in memory of a local surgeon, John Bailey, who was killed by robbers while returning to the town following a visit to a patient in Tydd St Mary. He was attacked just after midnight on 22 April 1795. His murderers were never caught.〔Urban, Sylvanus. ''The Gentleman's Magazine: and Historical Chronicle for the Year 1795. Volume 77. Part the First''. (1795). p.441〕〔Codd, Daniel (2013). ''Tales from the Gibbet Post (The Hunt for 'Butcher Jack')''. Amazon Media EU S.à r.l. Kindle Edition. ASIN: (B00D2B8OWA )〕 Prosperity continued into the 20th century, helped by the arrival of the railways. In the 1950s eleven trains would daily transport passengers and local produce to and from the town. The town previously had a railway station on the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway. However, it was closed in 1959 when passenger services were withdrawn from almost the entire M&GN route. In 1987 a Butterfly Park was opened near Long Sutton. The park was closed in October 2012 after a series of losses and bad weather. On 21 June 2012, at about 2:30 pm, a tornado hit Long Sutton. Particular damage was caused in Woad Lane with the tornado "leaving a trail of destruction in its wake".〔("Tornado hits Long Sutton" ); ''Spalding Guardian'' 23 June 2012.
