Great Sutton and its northerly neighbour Little Sutton are both mentioned in the Doomsday Book. Originally part of the much older parish of Eastham, a little further up the peninsula, the parish of Great Sutton was formed in the 1850s, along with its neighbouring parish of Hooton. Throughout the twentieth century, the parish changed markedly and is no longer the quiet farming village of 1879. Situated roughly halfway between the Rivers Dee and Mersey, Great Sutton has grown as the town of Ellesmere Port grew with the development of the Manchester Ship Canal, the Shropshire Union Canal and the Stanlow Oil Refineries. The parish, which to the west abuts rural South Wirral, contains a mix of housing and looks both to Chester and to Ellesmere Port for employment, shopping and recreation.
