Mildenhall was one of many Suffolk towns that rose in 1381. The town's proximity to Bury St Edmunds and its position in a predominantly agricultural area made it typical of the East Anglian revolt. Records of feudal obligations were burned and local gentry were threatened. The West Suffolk rising connected with Bury St Edmunds rebels and the broader network of East Anglian insurrection.
