Sutton-in-the-Isle

Sutton or Sutton-in-the-Isle is a village and civil parish in the county of Cambridgeshire in England, near the city of Ely. The "in-the-Isle" suffix refers to the fact that the village is part of the Isle of Ely, once an island in the Fens.

St Andrew's Church, Sutton-in-the-Isle, is one of the great churches of the Fens. Like all the medieval churches in this bit of the world, it was built on an 'island': the bumps of land that rose from amidst the drenched fens and provided a safe haven where the fishing folk could live, keep some livestock and worship. In the years that the Fens have been drained, of course, these 'islands' are now surrounded by miles and miles of flat fields.
