“The Bulletin” Vol. 73-No. 3772

Medieval Architecture  

Perfectly Portrayed At  

Bury St, Edmunds  

TlURY ST. EDMUNDS, in Suffolk,  

takes its name from the young martyr,  

Edmund, the Christian king of East  

Anglia, who chose to die rather than give  

up his faith and divide his kingdom with  

the Danish invaders in a.d. 870.  

Tradition asserts that he was placed  

against an oak-tree and shot to death by  

arrows. In 1848, this tree, known as St.  

Edmund’s oak, was uprooted and deep  

within its wood was found an arrow-  

head.  

King Edmund was buried at the small  

settlement beside the River Lark, the  

name of which was then known as  

Beodricsworth but later changed to Bury  

St. Edmunds, and his shrine became  

centre of local patriotism and religious  

fervour which drew pilgrims from far and  

wide. In later years the original shrine  

was replaced by magnificent church  

and monastery which, in the eleventh-  

century, was the noblest and wealthiest in  

England. Its prosperity was shared by  

the town which grew up around the  

Abbey and its market became the trading  

centre of West Suffolk.  

During the succeeding five centuries  

Bury was visited by many monarchs who  

heaped gifts upon the Abbey of St.  

Edmunds. In 1539, however, the great  

monastery was dissolved and thus Bury  

ceased to be monastic borough.  

The ruins of the Abbey are still to be  

seen in the Botanic Gardens entered  

through the imposing Abbey Gate,  

illustrated here. stone tablet on the  

site of the Great Altar lists the names of  

the revolting barons who gathered there  

in 1214. At this historic meeting, pre-  

sided over by Archbishop Langton, they  

drew up the “Petition of the Barons”  

which was to become the basis of Magna  

Charta, that greater charter of English  

liberty which was sealed by King John  

few months later in 1215 at Runnymede.  

This historic event is commemorated  

today in the motto of Bury St. Edmunds,  

which is “The shrine of the King, the  

Cradle of the Law.”  

Some idea of the magnificence of this  

great Abbey can be gained from what is  

left of its ruins, chief of which is the  

Abbey Gate on Angel Hill. This  

elaborate Gothic structure, built in 1347,  

was the fortified principal entrance to the  

Monastery attached to the Abbey, and is  

perfect example of medieval  

architecture.
