William Sutton (1752 – 1840 in North Meols, Lancashire), also known as The Mad Duke or The Old Duke) was a local forward-thinking man from North Meols (North of Southport). In 1792, Sutton took advantage of the fashionable new trend of sea bathing by building a bathing house at South Hawes (2 miles [3 km] south of Churchtown). Realizing the importance and opportunity presented by the newly created canal systems, he gambled on the idea of constructing a hotel by the seaside. His hotel was just 4 miles [6 km] away from the newly constructed Leeds and Liverpool Canal, to and from which he arranged transport for potential guests.
