From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] History
Recent excavations have revealled extensive archaeological remains dating back from before 1400.[2]. In 2006, both Thurvaston and nearby Sutton-on-the-Hill were identified as sites for future housing. This was based on a survey which identified the high cost of housing and the high number of bedrooms per residence compared with the small number of children in the area.[3]
