most considerable places in the eastern counties. After
the Conquest it became the seat of several religious
establishments; and it was one of the towns selected by
Edward III. for the settlement of the Flemings, with a
view to the introduction of the woollen cloth mfr.
Mfrs. of silk, velvet, and cocoa-nut matting, and exten¬
sive lime and brick works, give employment to the in¬
habitants. The river has been rendered navigable for
barges up to the town, and there is a considerable trade
in coal and agricultural produce. Gainsborough (1727-
1788), the painter, was a native. Sudbury was made a

Suffolk, maritime co. in E. of England, bounded N.
by Norfolk, from which it is separated by the Waveney
and Little Ouse, E. by the North Sea, S. by Essex, from
which it is separated by the Stour, and W. by Cam¬
bridgeshire, from which it is separated by the Lark;
area, 944,060 ac., pop. 356,893. The coast line (of
about 50 miles), broken by the estuaries of the Stour,
Orwell, Deben, and Aide, is generally low, and the sea
has made great encroachments, particularly in the
neighbourhood of Dunwich and Aldeburgh. The sur¬
face is generally level, and the soil is very varied—occa¬
sional fen, loam on the borders of the rivers, sand on
the eastern and western borders, and clay in the centre.
This last is fertile, and large crops are grown of wheat,
barley, pease, and beans, the barley in particular being
in high repute with brewers. Butter is extensively
made for the London markets. Sheep are reared in
the NAY., which is hilly; and the Suffolk cart-horse,
esteemed for its power of draught, is raised in con¬
siderable numbers. (For agricultural statistics, see
Appendix.) The mfrs.—principally agricultural imple-
