East Sutton is a parish approximately 6 miles south-east of Maidstone in Kent, England. East Sutton is small in number of dwellings but relatively large in area: the parish has a women’s prison, a council estate of 16 houses and the Grade I listed 13th-century St Peter’s and St Paul’s Church. The population is included in the civil parish of Sutton Valence.
HMP East Sutton Park opened as a Borstal in 1946, and is now a prison and Young Offenders Institution for females, situated in a manor house, located just outside the village.[2]
King Edward VII used to visit the village for liaisons with his mistress, Alice Keppel at Pleasure House, on the border with Sutton Valence.
