All Saints Church is located in the village of Acton near Sudbury. It is an Anglican parish church in the deanery of Sudbury, part of the archdeaconry of Ipswich, and the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich.[1]

Construction

The Domesday Book mentions Acton as a church with 30 acres of land. The original building was constructed circa 1250.[3][4] The south aisle of the church was constructed in the 15th century, and the upper part of the church tower was pulled down in the late 19th century for safety,[5] to be rebuilt in the 1920s.[3]

Memorials

Brasses

All Saints' Church has a collection of monumental brasses, one of which of Robert de Bures is the oldest brass in Suffolk and third oldest in England, and which was described by the Victoria and Albert Museum as "the finest military brass in existence".[6][3]

The collection of brasses includes Robert de Bures, Lady Alice Byran and Henry de Bures, as well as some smaller brasses created of later Byrans. The clothing of Robert de Bures in this Brass indicates that he was a knight of the Crusade in the last Crusade to the Holy Lands which took place in 1270.[7]Шаблон:Unreliable source He is buried within All Saints Church, although his family doesn't appear to have held lands in Acton until his second marriage.[7]Шаблон:Unreliable source

Jennans Memorial

The Jennans family vault was added with the south aisle in the 15th century.[3] The memorial itself was added in the 1700s dedicated to Robert Jennans who died in 1732 and was Adjutant to the Duke of Marlborough,[2] it features Robert Jennans and the allegorical figure of grief.[6] Details of Both Robert Jennans and his son William Jennans are recorded on the memorial.[6][8]
