Sudbury
Part of the reason for Sudbury’s historic wealth relates to its location – near to the coast for shipping wool exports via the River Stour, and near to London & Colchester for domestic transport. The town dates back to Saxon times and Sudbury is only fifteen miles from Colchester and has good road and rail links with the rest of the UK, especially London.
There are a wide variety of shops on offer in this Suffolk market town, and the area around North Street is particularly popular (CO10 1JG). If some of the streets look familiar then it is possible you have spotted them on one of the television programmes that have been filmed here. The most famous series is probably ‘Lovejoy’.
As you pass by St Peter’s Church look out for the drinking trough by the side of the building (CO10 2EH). This is where the ‘101 Dalmations’ reportedly stopped for a drink as they raced through Suffolk and away from Cruella De Ville.
Thomas Gainsborough was born in Sudbury and was baptised on 14th May 1727. He was best known for his Landscape and Portrait painting and his father was a weaver and maker of woolen goods. Thomas spent his childhood in what is now Gainsborough’s House – which is now a museum dedicated to his life and art.
To forgive your partner and forget.. that is the question!?

Let’s talk about Wills
Find a will writer in The Hug Directory
In any situation where you had a joint will and are no longer with that person, you must have a new one drawn-up. In divorce, when the Decree Absolute is issued, any will becomes null and void. Many people forget this when the drama of the divorce is finally over. You can instruct a will writing professional or a solicitor. In the event of your death, your ex could still end up benefitting! Rewriting your will is very much part of financial planning and advice.
