St Peters Church Sudbury Suffolk

These days the church is looked after by The Churches Conservation Trust.
When I passed this Church as a child it was in the centre of a round about, it is said you would need to say a prayer before attempting to cross to enter the church. Now the church sits in a triangular space since the town centre was introduced to a one way traffic system.

Although the Church is centrally located it was never the parish church that is St Gregory

Rupert Brooke, the son of a housemaster at Rugby School, was born on 3rd August, 1887. In 1906 he won a scholarship to King's College, Cambridge. While at university he joined the Fabian Society. Other members at Cambridge at the time included: Hugh Dalton, Clifford Allen and Amber Reeves. During this period Brooke met several leaders of the movement including George Bernard Shaw, Beatrice Webb and Sidney Webb.

Brooke began writing poetry and during the next few years had two collections of verse published, Poems (1911) and Georgian Poetry (1913). Brooke had a mental breakdown and in 1913 decided to tour the US, Canada and the Pacific.


On the outbreak of the First World War Brooke joined the Royal Naval Division and in October 1914 took part in the Antwerp expedition. After this experience he wrote several poems including, Peace, Safety and The Soldier.

In February 1915 Brooke sailed on the Grantully Castle for the Dardanelles. While on board he developed acute blood poisoning and although transferred to a hospital ship died on 23rd April 1915. Rupert Brooke was buried on the Greek island of Skyros.

Tea Garden set in an orchard, renowned for its famous past visitors best seen in daylight and I am sure this is the same for the whole of Grantchester.
