Assington Hall, which is adjacent to the church, was the home of the Gurdon family for several centuries. John Gurdon (c. 1544–1623) was elected a Member of Parliament for the borough of Sudbury, Suffolk, in 1571, as was his son Brampton Gurdon (died 1648) in 1621, who became High Sheriff of Suffolk in 1629.
