I wasn’t sure what to make of Sudbury: a large medieval town, made wealthy through weaving, still with four active silk-weaving establishments; a large medieval church, St. Botolph, with a good early eighteenth-century monument to Thomas Carter:-
Another medieval church, St. Peter, which was full of a farmer’s market and a worn north door:-
And good early houses on Stour Street, including The Chantry:-
And Salter’s Hall, which has a carving of St. James the Less with an elephant and lion on the street front:-
It needs another bypass and then could be a very fine old market town without through traffic
