Cut benchmark on St Gregory's church tower, Sudbury, South West angle

"This is one of Sudbury's three mediaeval churches (shown above, from the south) and the one which is both the most important architecturally and which occupies the best site, overlooking as it does a couple of medium-sized greens to the northwest of the town centre. In its present form it was also originally the product of a single build, dateable by its association with Simon Teobald of Sudbury, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1375, the year in which he founded a college for priests in training here, for which St. Gregory's served as chapel. Perhaps the church was complete when Simon was beheaded in Wat Tyler's rebellion of 1381 (by the mob), for much of the building is still of fairly consistent early Perpendicular appearance."
