*SUDBURY, (Suffolk) 46 cm. 54 mm. from London, is almost surrounded by the Stour, over which it has a handsome bridge, leading to Essex. 'Tis an ancient corp. which has sent members to Pt. ever since the R. of Edward IV. and gives title of Baron to the D. of Grafton. 'Tis governed by a mayor, recorder, and 7 ald. whereof the mayor is one, a bailiff, T.-clerk, 24 C. C. and two serjeants at mace. It has 3 handsome large Chs. and drives a good trade in perpetuana's, says, serges, &c. A great addition to the trade and wealth of it is the r. Stour, which has of late years been made navigable for barges and small craft, as far as Maningtree. The buildings are pretty good, but the streets being unpaved, are very dirty in bad weather. This was one of the first Ts. in which K. Edward III. settled the Flemings, who taught the English to work up their own wool into cloth. The Mt. is on S. Fairs June 29, Aug. 24, March 12, and the last Tu. in April. Simon Theobald, (called Sudbury, because he was born and buried here) the Abp. of Canterbury, founded a college of secular canons, if not a priory also; but some ascribe the latter to one Simperling. The Abp's. head, which was cut off by Wat Tyler's rebels, after having suffered eight strokes, is still to be seen in St. Gregory's Ch. the upper end of which he built.
