Community Assembly of Long Sutton
Serving, supporting and protecting our local communities.
About us
The Community Assembly of Long Sutton is a market town belonged historically to the wapentake of Elloe which was the equivalent of the Anglo-Saxon hundred in the northern Danelaw. This hundred refers to the courts which were held every four weeks.
A flood in 1236 that destroyed Wisbech Castle is also said to have washed away the village of Dolproon (or Dolprun) near Long Sutton and its existence has been handed down in the lines: 'When Dolproon stood, Long Sutton was a wood. When Dolproon was washed down, Long Sutton became a town.'
The Friday market dates back to the early 13th century when the town was a prosperous trading centre. By the mid-14th century, it was considered to be one of the richest communities in Lincolnshire.
Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
