Sutton Grange is a small settlement in North Yorkshire, England, 2 miles (3 km) north west of Ripon. It was historically a township in the parish of Ripon in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and became a separate civil parish in 1866.[1] By 1961 the population of the parish was only 40.[2] In 1974 it was transferred to Harrogate district in North Yorkshire, and in 1988 it was absorbed into the civil parish of North Stainley with Sleningford.[3]

Sutton Grange was the site of a grange of Fountains Abbey.[4] Earthworks surrounding an enclosure known as Hall Garth represent the only visible remains of the grange.[5]
