ReferencesHistory editA parliamentary borough consisting of the town of Sudbury in Suffolk the constituency elected two Members of Parliament MPs by the 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 1 Sudbury had in the eighteenth Century been seen as a particularly expensive seat 2 but not under the influence of any patron 3 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 4 with the new MP John Henniker having to spend 5 500 from the Duke of Newcastle s funds 5 but not under the influence of any patron 3 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 6 The seat was re established as one of five single member county divisions of the Parliamentary County of Suffolk by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 for the 1885 general election electing one MP by the first past the post voting system It was abolished for the 1950 general election Boundaries and boundary
