Sudbury Cemetery Regulations Sudbury Cemetery charges 2025/26 The Green Burial site Sudbury Town Council's Green burial site provides the community with the choice of environmentally friendly burials in a natural setting. Green burial is designed to sensitively lay someone to rest in an ecologically friendly way. This is carried out with the least detrimental effect on the environment as possible. The burial is performed using only biodegradable materials. The grave's surface will provide a habitat for flora, fauna, insects and mammals. The graves are not marked but are recorded on a plan. Trees and shrubs planted periodically on the site are allowed to mature thus attracting wildlife and assisting the self-seeding of flowers. This process commemorates those laid to rest in a unique way in their wish to 'return to nature'. Please get in touch via the details above to discuss this option. Eco-friendly maintenance Sudbury Cemetery is maintened in house by our dedicated team of Community Wardens.

Measures include: The introduction of 1000L IBC tanks to harvest rainwater for general use. Installation of Aerobin hot composters for green waste - compost is used in town floral displays. Leaves are mulched down and re-employed on town floral displays. Felled branches are chipped and used across our town centre floral beds, donated to local school and community gardens and made available to our allotment holders. Creation of undisturbed biodiversity areas in parts of the cemetery. Installation of new bins made from 100% recycled plastic. Replanting of native hedgerows.

However, as the list of Mayors often displayed in town halls the office of Mayor today connects the present day council to its medievel or earlier predecessors. The first English Mayor was the Mayor of London, appointed in 1189 by Richard 1. The words "Mayor" and "Major" derive from the Latin word "Magnus", meaning great. The office of Mayor, together with the Doomsday Book and the feudal system, were brought to this country by the Normans, as such an office had existed on the continent at least since the fifth century.

Explore SUDBURY ancient market town DOWNLOAD MAP The Talbot Trail Explore sudbury town centre Set in the heart of the beautiful Stour Valley, the famous landscape that inspired painters Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable. Sudbury is a thriving market town and has been since Saxon times. Before the Roman Conquest an Iron Age settlement occupied the defensible spur of high ground, roughly between the Croft and Stour Street. The development of the present town began in the Middle Saxon period and the semi-circular street pattern to the west of Market Hill represents successive expansions of the town in late Saxon and Norman times. 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, market 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 and unique townscape which is Sudbury’s pride.

Sudbury's first known mention as a Market Town was in the Doomsday Book of 1086 and the outdoor market is still a central part of Sudbury life today. Held every Thursday and Saturday on Market Hill in the centre of town, Sudbury's traditional market is well worth a visit.

About Sudbury on Show Founded by the late, great Andrew Phillips, OBE - Sudbury on Show is a biennial celebration of the many community organisations that make our town unique. Passionate local people, from all walks of life, generously donate their time to running a range of vital community organisations - from gardening groups, sports clubs, community cafes, keep fit classes, to local history & heritage associations. The last Sudbury on Show was held at Sudbury Arts Centre on Saturday 23rd March 2024. Read Sudbury on Show 2024 Press Release : "A special year for Sudbury on Show as event founder Andrew Phillips OBE is remembered " "We live in challenging times! Driven by the assumption that ‘bigger is better’ the overlooked reality is that contentment and fulfilment mostly depend on a sense of belonging and a communal life rich in relationships, otherwise people tend to feel lonely – even anonymous’. ‘Sudbury on Show' is a chance for us all to celebrate the many great things still going on in our wonderful town and district. Above all we hope it encourages people to get involved and so contribute to our general wellbeing" Andrew Phillips, OBE (1939 - 2023) Sudbury on Show Founder Prior to Sudbury on Show 2024 opening to the public, together with The Mayor of Sudbury, Olly Phillips and Sam Thornton, Chair of The Sudbury Society we unveiled the Andrew Phillips Memorial Plaque which sits proudly on the beautiful facade of Sudbury Library (formerly The Corn Exchange). Andrew Phillips was instrumental in saving the Corn Exchange from demolition and its subsequent conversion into the library. Just one of many local projects to ensure Sudbury's heritage is preserved whilst never resisting change for the betterment of our town. Sudbury owes a debt of gratitude to the work of this great man - he has left an indelible mark on Sudbury.
