In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Sutton like this:
SUTTON, a tything in Woking parish, Surrey; on the river Wey, 4¼ miles NNE of Guildford. S. Place was a quadrangular mansion built, in the time of Henry VIII., by Sir R. Weston; was visited by Queen Elizabeth; suffered from fire immediately after her visit; underwent removal of its entrance-gateway side towards the end of last century; includes an ancient Roman Catholic chapel; and belongs now to the Salvins.
