A Suffolk wool town known for its historic links with Thomas Gainsborough and Simon of Sudbury, who, in the 1300’s was the Arch Bishop of Canterbury and crowned the new king, King Richard II in 1377.
The impressive Market Hill and busy North Street boast a wealth of independent shops, pubs, coffee shops, wine bars & restaurants with further shopping facilities on the edge of the town in the way of 3 major supermarkets. Sudbury serves as the commercial heart for many local villages, all with their own unique charms.
