St Peter's Church, Sudbury

St Peter's Church is a redundant Anglican church in the town of Sudbury, Suffolk, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The church stands in the centre of the town in a dominating position on Market Hill.〔
A church has been on the site since at least 1180, but the current structure dates from the 15th century, though there have been several restorations in the intervening period.〔 Formerly a spired church, St. Peter's now has a bell tower which, like the rest of the building, is mainly covered in flint.〔 The interior of the church features paintings by George Frederick Bodley and Robert Cardinal,〔 and a pipe organ originally made by T. C. Lewis.
==History==
The earliest documentary record of the church is in 1180, when it was a chapel of ease to St Gregory's church. The church was built in three stages, beginning with the first two bays of the chancel and the base of the tower in about 1330–48. The later stages of building were in about 1360, and in about 1425–50. In 1643, during the Civil War, the iconoclast William Dowsing damaged many of the items in the church. A restoration took place in 1685, which included some alterations to the nave roof.〔 A clock was installed in 1701, and during the first half of the 18th century a spire of metal and wood was added; this was replaced by another spire in 1810.〔 The church was restored again in 1858–59 by William Butterfield; this included removal of the three galleries and the box pews, re-laying the chancel floor, and replacement of the pulpit. Stained glass made by Hardman & Co. was installed in some of the windows, and more stained glass by Hardman was installed later in the century.〔
In 1898 the chancel was restored and redecorated by George Frederick Bodley.〔 A wooden reredos was installed in the Lady Chapel.〔 The stonework of the exterior was restored in 1911, when statues were inserted into three niches in the south porch. A further restoration took place in 1968 when the upper part of the tower was replaced, the spire was taken down, and most of Bodley's paintings were removed from the chancel. The church was declared redundant in 1972, and in 1976 was vested in the Redundant Churches Fund, the forerunner of the Churches Conservation Trust. A charitable trust, The Friends of St. Peter's has been established to maintain and improve the church.〔 Since being made redundant, the church has been used occasionally for services, and for a variety of events, including concerts, organ recitals and exhibitions.〔
