St Peter's Church, Sudbury, Gothic church in Market Hill, Sudbury, England
St Peter's Church is a Gothic building in Sudbury featuring an octagonal 15th-century font and intricate stone carvings throughout its structure. The church comprises six bays with north and south aisles plus a medieval roof that shows the skilled craftsmanship of its period.
Construction started between 1330 and 1348 and continued in phases until the mid-15th century. This extended building period reflects gradual development, combining different Gothic styles across generations.
The building now serves as an arts center and gathering space for the community. Performances, exhibitions, and local events take place here while the medieval architecture remains intact.
Wheelchair access is available through a portable ramp at the west entrance, and toilet facilities are on site. Modern sound and lighting systems have been installed for events, making it adaptable for various uses.
A carved angel with a forked beard sits above a small door within the church. The interior also displays paintings of Moses and Aaron attributed to artist Robert Cardinal Bodley.
