About Sudbury - show infohide info
Sudbury is a small market town in the county of Suffolk, with a population of approximately 11,800 inhabitants. The town is mentioned as early as 799AD, when it was a Saxon settlement. By the time of the domesday book in 1086, the town is mentioned as a market town serving the local area, where people came to barter their goods. Sudbury later became a centre for weaving and silk, and the town prospered. A number of great houses and churches were built, leaving the town with a great historical legacy. As a result of the towns association with the silk and weaving, an inland river port was built in the town, though as rail and road became more practical and profitable, the river port fell into disuse. Today, the last building from the port is the successful Quay Theatre. During the eighteenth century Sudbury became famous for its local artists. Constable and Gainsborough painted in the area. Gainsborough's birthplace, Gainsborough House, is now a museum to his work and is open to the public. It houses many valuable pictures, and some of his family possessions. In 1847 the railway arrived in Sudbury. Originally, the railway connected more of the villages in the stour valley, however Sudbury is now the terminus of the line to London thanks to the Beeching cull in the 1960's.
