Robert Sutton was an English Roman Catholic priest born in Burton-on-Trent between 1543 and 1545. Initially serving as an Anglican minister and the Rector of Lutterworth, he eventually converted to Catholicism through his brother, William. After receiving his priesthood in Douai, he participated in the English Mission. His religious activities led to his arrest in Stafford, where he was executed in 1587 for his priesthood. He was later beatified by the Catholic Church in 1987.
