Description
The Church of St Gregory is the mother church of Sudbury and was originally part of a collegiate foundation known as St Gregory's College, which is located to the west of the church where the present workhouse stands. The church is situated on a Saxon site but is primarily built in the Perpendicular style, with some later additions. It features several notable windows and a south door, as well as 20 miserere stalls. A fine traceried font cover from the 15th century is also present. Additionally, the church houses the preserved head of Archbishop Simon of Sudbury, who was beheaded by a mob during Wat Tyler's rebellion in 1381, located in a niche within the vestry.
