The most prominent of Sudbury’s three major churches, and the only one which is redundant as a church. Supported by The Churches Conservation Trust, it is preserved in the hope that one day it may again be used for worship. It is usually locked but the nearby tourist office will direct you to the key. Entry is through the west door of the tower. Inside you will find a large empty space surrounded by large empty walls apart from publicity for the Churches Conservation Trust and some information about the church. Behind curtains in what was a chapel are piles of chairs waiting to be set out for an audience. The 15th century octagonal font has a nice conical cover. Below the sanctuary is a sacristy, accessible through a sunken doorway. There are two piscinæ , one in the nave, the other adjacent to the panel-lined sedilia in the chancel.
