In World War II, US Army Air Forces bombers operated from RAF Sudbury.

Today, Sudbury retains its status as a market town with a twice-weekly market in the town centre in front of St Peter's Church, which is now a cultural venue for events such as concerts and exhibitions. In sport, the town has a semi-professional football club, A.

F.

C. Sudbury, which competes at the seventh level of the football pyramid.

It is home to the Gainsborough's House museum, celebrating the work of the artist.
