Early Origins of the Lutton family

The surname Lutton was first found in Bedfordshire, at Luton, once home of Luton Castle, a 12th-century castle, a timber motte-and-bailey structure built in 1139 but demolished in 1154. An excavation in 2002, revealed a steep ditch. Today Luton is a large town and unitary authority of Bedfordshire, but in the area Paleolithic encampments (about 250,000 years old) have been found. About the 6th century, it was a Saxon outpost on the River Lea. Luton is recorded in the Domesday Book 1 as Loitone and also as Lintone.

One of the first records of the family was Osbert de Luton who was registered in the Curia Regis Rolls for Cornwall in 1206. Later, Roger Luton was recorded in 1253. 2 In Lancashire, John de Luyton was rector of the church of St. Elphin, Warrington, Lancashire in 1343. 3
