EspañolSUTTON-ON-THE-FOREST
'Sutton-on-the-Forest' is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It is 10 miles north of York and 5 miles southeast of Easingwold.
Laurence Sterne was the vicar of this parish, but when the parsonage house was destroyed by fire, he moved to nearby Coxwold. While in Sutton he conceived, wrote and published the first two books of Tristram Shandy. There can be no doubt that the book was based on Sutton and the people who lived in and around it.
Tristram Shandy is probably more highly appreciated abroad, particularly in Italy, France and the US, than it is in the UK, except by modern novelists. Its techniques are seen as leading to many modern developments in novel writing such as the stream of consciousness and also in techniques for revealing character. Because of this Sutton on the Forest may be regarded as the true birthplace of the modern novel.
Sutton Park is a fine house nearby built of mellow brick in 1730 by Thomas Atkinson. The House contains beautiful eighteenth century furniture, paintings mostly from Buckingham House, now Buckingham Palace, and an important collection of porcelain. Magnificent plaster work by Cortese. The House is a fine example of early Georgian architecture overlooking beautiful parkland. It is filled with a rich collection of treasures all put together with great style and always filled with flowers from the garden.
Each year the village celebrates its countryside heritage in the Huby and Sutton show in Sutton Park.
