The written history of the town began when Sudbury was mentioned in the Anglo Saxon Chronicle of 797AD; the town's entry in Domesday Book in 1086 records a church, a mill and the meadows which remain such an attractive feature of the town today.
The medieval woollen cloth industry, the coming of the River Navigation and then the Railway, the 19th century silk industry, all helped to generate prosperity and contributed to the diverse buildings heritage which is Sudbury's pride. This website can only give a sample of the buildings which make up that fine heritage. Click on the title of a photo to bring up a full size image.
