Originally, Sutton and Bonington were two settlements, the two villages gradually grew together along the edge of the River Soar and is the reason why there are two pubs and parish churches. The village also boasts a number of small shops, a post office, a village hall, a primary school and doctor's surgery. There are cricket, lawn bowls, tennis clubs and two Football clubs, both of which play in the North Leicestershire Football League. Nearest Airport: East Midlands (miles).
