Sutton Waldron is a village and civil parish in north Dorset, England, situated on the A350 road between Iwerne Minster and Fontmell Magna, in the Blackmore Vale under the scarp of Cranborne Chase, 8 miles (13 kilometres) north of Blandford Forum and 5 miles (8 kilometres) south of Shaftesbury. In the 2011 census the parish had 93 dwellings,[1] 87 households and a population of 200.[2]

The parish covers about 1,300 acres (530 hectares) in a strip of land that, from west to east, is composed of Kimmeridge clay, Lower Greensand, Gault Clay, Upper Greensand and chalk.[3]

In 1086 in the Domesday Book, Sutton Waldron was recorded as Sudtone;[4] it had 24 households, one mill, six ploughlands, 6 acres (2.4 hectares) of meadow and 40 acres (16 hectares) of woodland. It was in the hundred of Gillingham and the lord and tenant-in-chief was Waleran the hunter.[5]

The parish church dates from 1847 and is constructed in the Decorated Gothic style.[6]
