Sun House, Hall Street was formerly called Ty-Gwyn. Probably built in the 16th or 17th century, timber framed and stuccoed, refaced on the left side and front in painted brick in the 18th century. The house has an 18th century Sun Fire Insurance sign on the front. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1351849 Long Melford is a large village in Suffolk near the border with Essex, some 3 miles north of Sudbury. The village gained its name because it stretches for two and three quarter miles essentially along a single road. There is evidence of occupation from every period from the Mesolithic. The village contains two stately homes, Kentwell Hall and Melford Hall, is home to one of the largest and richest "wool churches" in East Anglia with fine flushwork, and a superb almshouse founded in 1573.
