St Gregory’s church in Sudbury is said to be haunted by the ghost of Simon de Sudbury, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was murdered during the Peasant’s Revolt of 1381. His skull is still preserved in a case in the church. A truly grizzly exhibit!
His body was buried in Canterbury Cathedral. Some believe that his ghost still restless because he wishes his head to be reunited with his body.

I didn't know that there was a creepy and disturbing history happened in St Gregory’s church in Sudbury. Because of this, I was quite hesitant to visit the church because of its bloody history. Though the incident happened a very long time ago, it feels creepy whenever you think about it. It's very unusual to think of a church as a place for murder, but it did happen in the past. By the way, I want to still send my gratitude because you shared this to us.
