==History==
A [[parliamentary borough]] consisting of the town of [[Sudbury, Suffolk|Sudbury]] in [[Suffolk]], the constituency returnedelected two [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Members of Parliament]] (MPs) by the [[Plurality-at-large voting|bloc vote]] system of election to the [[House of Commons of England]] from 1559 to 1707, then to the [[House of Commons of Great Britain]] from 1707 to 1800, and to the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom]] from 1801 until it was disenfranchised for corruption in 1844, after which it was absorbed into the [[Western Division of Suffolk]]. It was probably enfranchised through lobbying from [[Ambrose Cave]] the [[Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster]] who had interests in the area and could influence the choice of MPs.<ref name = HoP3/> Sudbury had in the eighteenth Century been seen as a particularly expensive seat<ref>Page 50, [[Lewis Namier]], ''[[The Structure of Politics at the Accession of George III]]'' (2nd edition - London: St Martin's Press, 1957)</ref> but not under the influence of any patron<ref name="London 1957">Page 105, [[Lewis Namier]], ''[[The Structure of Politics at the Accession of George III]]'' (2nd edition - London: St Martin's Press, 1957)</ref> and in the [[1761 general election]] [[Horace Walpole]] the cousin of the outgoing MP, [[Thomas Walpole]], had claimed that Sudbury had openly advertised itself for sale<ref>Letter 736, 3rd March 1761, [https://archive.org/stream/lettershoracewal05walpiala/lettershoracewal05walpiala_djvu.txt Full text of "The letters of Horace Walpole, fourth earl of Orford]</ref> with the new MP, [[John Henniker, 1st Baron Henniker|John Henniker]] having to spend £5,500 from the [[Duke of Newcastle]]'s funds.<ref>Page 320, [[Lewis Namier]], ''[[The Structure of Politics at the Accession of George III]]'' (2nd edition - London: St Martin's Press, 1957)</ref> but not under the influence of any patron<ref>Page 105, [[Lewis Namier]], ''[[The Structure of Politics at the Accession of George III]]'' (2nd edition - name="London: St Martin's Press, 1957)<"/ref> The Sudbury election of 1835, which [[Charles Dickens]] reported for the ''[[Morning Chronicle]]'', is thought by many experts to be the inspiration for the famous Eatanswill election in his novel ''[[Pickwick Papers]]''.<ref>{{cite book|title=Dictionary of Real People and Places in Fiction|author=M.C.
