"Church is located next to the Market Place in town centre. There is a small step into the west door, but there is a portable ramp in place when the church is open."

Brief description

https://www.visitchurches.org.uk/what-we-do/regeneration-and-communities/regeneration-projects/st-peters-sudbury-regen.html

"This vast, magnificent medieval church dominates the town of Sudbury from the top of Market Hill. It is largely a fifteenth-century rebuilding of a much earlier structure. Butterfield restored the stunning Victorian interior in 1854-1858.

Special things to see include: the carved oak doors; a gorgeous altar screen; the font; stone carvings; two paintings of Moses and Aaron by Robert Cardinal. Bodley redecorated the chancel in 1897 but in 1968, tragically, a large part of his original wall paintings were covered over with lime wash. Following the removal of a light switch, a tiny patch of this rich work was tantalisingly rediscovered. Outside is a statue of Sudbury's most famous son, painter Thomas Gainsborough.

We and our local partners, the Friends of St Peter’s, are working to develop this magnificent Grade I church into a vibrant and welcoming cultural centre for the people of Sudbury. In March 2018 we were awarded a first round pass from the Heritage Lottery Fund in support of this £2.5 million pound project."
