Village Hall

Sudbourne Village HallSudbourne Village Hall started as an Army hut on Orfordness in World War I and was purchased by the village after that war.  In the 1980s funds were raised to build a new hall, which was opened by the Earl of Cranbrooke in 1988.

The hall acts as a centre for village life and is run as a Charitable Trust by an elected committee.  It has a stage, a well-equipped kitchen and ample car parking.

The Village Sign

This stands outside the village hall and The Village Signwas designed and made in the village. The designer was Mary Lacey, a well-known wild life artist and the maker was Trevor Rumsey, a skilled local craftsman. The sign was unveiled in 2000 to celebrate the millennium. The design echoes Sudbourne past and present including

The church: The oldest building in the village, dating from Norman times.

The Suffolk Punch: There was an important stud for these at Sudbourne Hall until 1918 and these strong and sturdy horses were ideal for ploughing before tractors became widely available.

A deer: There are many fallow, roe and muntjac deer in the neighbouring forest and woodland.

A tank: This recalls the use of Sudbourne as a tank training ground during the Second World War.
