Ton of the word Sutton is a Saxon suffix meaning 'an enclosure or fenced in clearing'. There were many churches in the area that still exist from as early as the 12th century including the Church of St Mary Magdalene, which still has building parts that date from that period. Sutton in Ashfield had a thriving industry in coal mining, and was also known for the hosiery brand of Pretty Polly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePortland Square, in Sutton in Ashfield, is a contemporary public space that is the centrepiece of ambitious development plans across the area. This part of town was once the site of the old village green, and had many names including Lower Green and Swine Green. It was also previously known as Engine Green, as there was a building there that housed a fire engine. The old engine house was demolished in September 1844, and this location is now called Portland Square, dedicated to the Duke of Portland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"heading-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to get there\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy car:\u003c/strong\u003e Exit at junction 28 on the M1 to take the A38 to Sutton in Ashfield.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy train:\u003c/strong\u003e Sutton Parkway station, Sutton in Ashfield, NG17 5FB (1.2 miles from Idlewells Shopping Centre).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParking:\u003c/strong\u003e \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https://www.ashfield.gov.uk/community-leisure/parking-roads/car-parks/sutton-in-ashfield-parking/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Find out about places to park in Sutton-in-Ashfield town centre.\"\u003eFind out about places to park in Sutton in Ashfield town centre on the Ashfield District Council website.\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","coordinates":"53.125304514335596, -1.262544832498245","latitude":53.125304,"longitude":-1.262544,"address":"Idlewells Shopping Centre, Sutton in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, NG17 1BP","directions":"https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Idlewells+Indoor+Market/@53.1251185,-1.2818964,15z/data=!3m2!4b1!5s0x4879942a762632ff:0x7edf0a3a93e87ddc!4m6!3m5!1s0x4879942a0bceccef:0x9a6776ca4db1a080!8m2!3d53.1251199!4d-1.2634425!16s%2Fg%2F12hk376ch?entry=ttu","distance":0,"duration":0,"challengeRating":"","mapLinkButton":"","mapLinkButtonURL":"","mapLinkButton2":"","mapLinkButtonURL2":"","icon1":null,"icon1Alt":"","icon2":null,"icon2Alt":"","icon3":null,"icon3Alt":"","icon4":null,"icon4Alt":"","icon5":null,"icon5Alt":"","icon6":null,"icon6Alt":"","icon7":null,"icon7Alt":"","icon8":null,"icon8Alt":"","icon9":null,"icon9Alt":"","icon10":null,"icon10Alt":"","icon11":null,"icon11Alt":"","icon12":null,"icon12Alt":""},{"title":"Sutton Lawn","root":"/sutton-lawn/","date":"2023-09-01T00:00:00Z","location":"Sutton in Ashfield ","coverImage":{"url":"https://media.umbraco.io/dev-discover-ashfield-heartcore/jetbfqwl/sutton-lawn-park-1.jpg"},"greenFlag":{"url":"https://media.umbraco.io/dev-discover-ashfield-heartcore/0jpkkbqp/green-flag.svg"},"additionalIcon":null,"category":"Parks","sub":[],"tag":"","placeDivider":"Ashfield","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"image-container image-default\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://media.umbraco.io/dev-discover-ashfield-heartcore/xjcigluc/adc_mill_waters_logo_rgb.png?width=250\u0026amp;height=222\u0026amp;mode=max\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"222\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSutton Lawn is a popular, picturesque park on the former Sutton Hall site with woodland, grassed areas, and beautiful avenues of trees.

This was to honour the 21st birthday of his son, the Marquis of Titchfield. A further 13 acres were added when the Hucknall Miners Welfare Committee decided to further the development of Titchfield Park from funds raised to provide facilities for the local miners. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original brief of the committee was the park should be set out to provide for cricket, football, bowls, and tennis courts with trees, shrubs, and flowers planted all around. The design, drawn up by J.W. Bardill, also included a bandstand, tearooms, a pavilion building, shelters, and caretaker's lodge. The works were held up by the outbreak of the First World War and the Marquis finally performed the opening ceremony in July 1922.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mceNonEditable embeditem\" data-embed-url=\"https://youtu.be/UacWt5-aKS0?si=QmhcxpU2YmClW-Oq\" data-embed-height=\"300\" data-embed-width=\"500\" data-embed-constrain=\"true\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"533\" height=\"300\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/UacWt5-aKS0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" title=\"Discover Ashfield with Miriam Bramley\"\u003e\u003c/iframe\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"heading-2\"\u003eHow to get there\u003c/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy car:\u003c/strong\u003e Exit at junction 26 on the M1.
