Roll Book of the Honorary Freemen of the Borough of Sudbury in the County of Suffolk

In November 2019, the Honorary Freemen Roll Book was returned to Sudbury after it had been rescued from the cellar at the former Babergh District Council headquarters in Corks Lane, Hadleigh.
Although entries in the Book date from June 16th, 1893, the history of granting the Honorary Freedom of the Borough in Sudbury goes back over four hundred years to the reign of Elizabeth I.
