Sutton Coldfield's recorded history spans one thousand years. The story of the town is punctuated with the activity of Bishop Vesey, who played a significant part in securing the future of Sutton Park which forms the Constituency's most dominant feature. Much of Sutton Coldfield is green space. New Hall Valley Country Park, Plantsbrook Nature Reserve, five golf courses (two are Birmingham City Council Golf Courses) and most of Birminghams green belt provide the Constituency with its major asset.
