Historic Accommodation In Suffolk: The Black Boy, Sudbury

The Black Boy dates to around 1700, and is one of a number of pubs and inns in Britain named the Black Boy. These establishments are named in affectionate commemoration of Charles the Second, the dark haired king who returned from exile in 1660 to govern Britain following the bleak years of Parliament's rule after the Civil War. Charles enjoyed life and would often come to nearby Newmarket to watch and take part in the horse racing. Charles brought a sense of fun and enjoyment back to Britain after the austere years of Parliament's rule, and for that he was fondly remembered in the names of many King's Heads and Black Boys. The Black Boy in Sudbury is a charming inn which offers good, unfussy accommodation at a reasonable rate.
