The Georgian-era "Sutton Lodge" on Brighton Road is thought to be the oldest surviving building in the former parish of Sutton (other than a few fragmentary remains and boundary walls). The lodge dates from 1762, and served as the farmhouse of the former Sutton Farm. The two wings were added in 1786. Later, the farmland around the lodge was progressively sold off for house building. The lodge itself survived and was bought by Sutton Council, for use as a day centre for senior citizens. But, during its early history, the lodge is thought to have served as a romantic hideaway for the future King George IV. Sutton Lodge is the oldest building in the town of Sutton.
