About The Christopher Centre:
The Christopher Centre is an 18th century Grade 2 Listed Building. Although the front of the building is mostly 19th century.

At one point in its history it was owned by Henry and Mary Burroughs, grandparents of the artist Thomas Gainsborough. It then became an inn and being near the old entrance and exit to the town, it was appropriately named The Christopher Inn, after the Patron Saint of Travellers.

In November 1992 Greene King sold it to the Sudbury Common Lands Charity who invested in the building's repair to ensure it's ongoing use for the community.

In July 1993 it was leased to Sudbury Volunteer Centre and on the 19th October 1994 it was officially opened as The Christopher Centre, now a Registered Charity run by a Board of Trustees supporting a part-time manager, Teresa Bishop, and a dedicated group of volunteers, who organise fund-raising events, staff the reception office and perform many other duties.

The Christopher Centre is a non profit making organisation and donations are always gratefully received to help maintain this important facility for local voluntary and community groups at affordable charges.
