SUTTON, THOMAS (c. 15321611)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 172 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
SUTTON, THOMAS (c. 15321611) , founder of Charterhouse school and
hospital
 
    See Also:
, was the son of an official of the city of Lincoln, and was educated at
Eton
  College and probably at
Cambridge
 . He then spent some time travelling in Europe and appears to have acted as secretary to two or three English noblemen. He became a soldier, and in 1569 was with the troops engaged in suppressing the rising in the north of England; in 1590 he was
made master and surveyor of the ordnance in the northern parts of the
realm
  and in this capacity he took part in the siege of Edinburgh Castle by the English in May 1573. Sutton obtained
great
  wealth by the ownership of coal mines in
Durham
  and also by his
marriage
  in 1582 with Elizabeth (d. 1602), widow of John Dudley of Stoke Newington. His wish to devote some of his money to charitable purposes led him in 1611 to purchase for
13,000 the Charterhouse (q.v.) from
Thomas
  Howard,
earl
  of Suffolk. On this spot Sutton erected the
hospital
 
    See Also:
and school which he had originally intended to build at Hallingbury in Essex. Sutton died at Hackney on the 12th of December 1611 and was buried in the chapel in the Charterhouse. His wealth was left for charitable uses, but in 1613 James I. ordered his executors to make an allowance to his natural son, Roger Sutton.
