The name Sutton Waldron is broken down as Sutton - South Tun - indicates that in Saxon times it was south of some well known centre which was probably Shaftesbury. Waldron is derived from the name Waleran a huntsman who was given the estate by William the Conqueror. The Church of St Bartholomew is Victorian which replaced an earlier Saxon church, and it was built entirely at the expense of the incumbent, Canon (later Archdeacon) Huxtable and consecrated in 1847.
