Area 10,070 acres. Bulmer wapentake. -Population, 1,019 *2; Church-room, 350; Net value, £395. -In Sutton, saith the Domesday Survey, Ligulf had five carucates of land to be taxed. There was land to two ploughs. Girard, a vassal of Hugh the son of Baldric, had there one plough, and eight villanes with two ploughs. There was a Priest, and a mill ; wood pasture one mile and a half long and five quarentens broad. The whole manor two miles long and five quarentens broad ; value in King Edward's time twenty six shillings, but then twenty shillings.

The Church was given to the Prior and Convent of Marton,towhich itwas appropriated, and a Vicarage ordained therein, 12 Kal. March 1223; and 7th Id. October 1372, a new ordination was made by Archbishop Thoresby. At the Dissolution, the patronage came to the crown, and King Henry VIII. granted the advowson to the see of York in exchange, and the Archbishops of York have presented ever since.

Valued in Pope Nicholas's taxation, at £13. 6s. 8d.; Nova Tax, £5. 6s. 8d.; Vicaria ejusdem, £12; Nova Tax, £5; in the King's Books, at £16. 13s. 8d. per annum ; and in the Parliamentary Survey, vol. 17, p. 20, (Rectory) it is stated, " The Rectory belongs to the Archbishop. The Vicar hath tithe corn and hay of Huby, and the small tithes Vicarage, £4 per annum."

"The parish consists of two towns; viz., Sutton, where the great tithes are impropriate to Thomas Hutton, Esq.; the other, Huby, where the Vicar is endowed with all tithes whatever, but a great deal of the ground here is exempted by modus. An augmentation of £8 per annum was made about four years ago by the Archbishop." -Notitia Parochialis, No. 1052.

The Vicar is charged with the reparation and rebuilding of the Chancel of the Church.

A Decree in the Exchequer in Michaelmas Term, 13th Car. II., as to tithes, is unreported.
