==Wider parish== [[File:Sutton Gault wiki.jpg|thumb|left|Bridge over the [[New Bedford River]] and the Anchor at Sutton Gault]] [[File:Flooded Road at Sutton Gault.jpg|thumb|right|Flooded road at Sutton Gault]] '''Sutton Gault''' (Bury Lane) is a part of the parish of '''Sutton-in-the-Isle'''. The name derives from the [[gault clay]] that has been extracted from there. It comprises a few houses and farms, a guest home, "Grove Barn" and an [[Public house#Inns|inn]], "The Anchor". The [[Old Bedford River]] and [[New Bedford River]] pass through Sutton Gault. The land between them, known as the [[Ouse Washes]], a giant flood water reservoir which also forms part of an internationally important wetland habitat. When the flood water is very high the road through the Washes is impassible and closed to traffic. '''The Americas''', also known as The America or just America, is another part of the parish. Although it is treated as a separate settlement from the village of Sutton-in-the-Isle on some maps, most residents consider it part of the village and the equivalent of a street name. So far the origins of the name remain a mystery. It is known to have had its name since at least 1881 as it is mentioned in the census of that year, although the name could be much older. {{Clear left}}<!--Needed to clear the image-->
