Sutton Bonington is an unusual village in that it has two medieval churches, St Michael's and St Anne's, a legacy from the days when Sutton and Bonington were two separate villages.

St Anne's is a 12th-century Grade II* listed building.

Lovely little gift shop and tearoom. Plenty of outdoor seating with a limited amount of cozy indoor seating next to the toasty fire. Delightful home cooked menu featuring freshly baked cakes, cream teas, soups and a selection of sandwiches. They also do lovely lunch boxes for children. There is secure bike parking in the courtyard, the only downside is the gravel that you have to tiptoe across if wearing cleats. However, the courtyard also features a fully functional model railway. If you are nice (and look young enough) you may get the chance to control the trains but if not they are very entertaining to watch.
Also, students don't forget you can get a 10% discount!
