Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in Sudbury

Sudbury Worktop Information

Sudbury is a market town in the Babergh district of Suffolk, on the River Stour, about 15 miles south of Bury Saint Edmunds and 12 miles north of Colchester. The CO10 postcode covers the town and the surrounding south Suffolk villages. Sudbury has 239 listed buildings, of which six are Grade I, reflecting its importance as a prosperous medieval wool and cloth town. The town is the birthplace of the painter Thomas Gainsborough, born here in 1727, and his childhood home on Market Hill is now the Gainsborough House museum, one of the finest single-artist museums in England. The town hall, the Church of St Peter, and the medieval street plan around Market Hill give Sudbury one of the most coherent late-medieval townscapes in Suffolk. The River Stour at Sudbury was painted by Gainsborough and later by John Constable, whose country is the Stour valley immediately to the south. Average house prices in CO10 run below the national average but the heritage character and the Constable Country association sustain the market above standard rural Suffolk.
