A Suffolk man, with the advantage of a rich mother and even richer wife, he became the most generous local benefactor of Victorian times. Responsible for rebuilding the tower at Holy Trinity, building St Catherine’s church in memory of his wife and establishing the school associated there with the church, his generosity extended to Sudbury as well. The 'Rogue' was one Henry Cronin Pratt. A prominent Freemason and manager of Pratt’s bank, he absconded after embezzling over £17,000. Rev. Martyn played a decisive part when the masons took ‘steps to refund to the Sudbury savings bank such monies that may have been obtained by fraud outsusbscribed to the various Masonic charities’. VG.
