Fix this textBury St, Edmunds
Fix this textTlURY ST. EDMUNDS, in Suffolk,
Fix this textW takes its name from the young martyr,
Fix this textEdmund, the Christian king of East
Fix this textAnglia, who chose to die rather than give
Fix this textup his faith and divide his kingdom with
Fix this textthe Danish invaders in a.d. 870.
Fix this textTradition asserts that he was placed
Fix this textagainst an oak-tree and shot to death by
Fix this textarrows. In 1848, this tree, known as St.
Fix this textEdmund’s oak, was uprooted and deep
Fix this textwithin its wood was found an arrow-
Fix this texthead.
Fix this textKing Edmund was buried at the small
Fix this textsettlement beside the River Lark, the
Fix this textname of which was then known as
Fix this textBeodricsworth but later changed to Bury
Fix this textSt. Edmunds, and his shrine became a
Fix this textcentre of local patriotism and religious
Fix this textfervour which drew pilgrims from far and
Fix this textwide. In later years the original shrine
Fix this textwas replaced by a magnificent church
Fix this textand monastery which, in the eleventh-
Fix this textcentury, was the noblest and wealthiest in
Fix this textEngland. Its prosperity was shared by
Fix this textthe town which grew up around the
Fix this textAbbey and its market became the trading
Fix this textcentre of West Suffolk.
Fix this textDuring the succeeding five centuries
Fix this textBury was visited by many monarchs who
Fix this textheaped gifts upon the Abbey of St.
Fix this textEdmunds. In 1539, however, the great
Fix this textmonastery was dissolved and thus Bury
Fix this textceased to be a monastic borough.
Fix this textThe ruins of the Abbey are still to be
Fix this textseen in the Botanic Gardens entered
Fix this textthrough the imposing Abbey Gate,
Fix this textillustrated here. A stone tablet on the
Fix this textsite of the Great Altar lists the names of
Fix this textthe revolting barons who gathered there
Fix this textin 1214. At this historic meeting, pre-
Fix this textsided over by Archbishop Langton, they
Fix this textdrew up the “Petition of the Barons”
Fix this textwhich was to become the basis of Magna
Fix this textCharta, that greater charter of English
Fix this textliberty which was sealed by King John a
Fix this textfew months later in 1215 at Runnymede.
Fix this textThis historic event is commemorated
Fix this texttoday in the motto of Bury St. Edmunds,
Fix this textwhich is “The shrine of the King, the
Fix this textCradle of the Law.”
Fix this textSome idea of the magnificence of this
Fix this textgreat Abbey can be gained from what is
Fix this textleft of its ruins, chief of which is the
Fix this textAbbey Gate on Angel Hill. This
Fix this textelaborate Gothic structure, built in 1347,
Fix this textwas the fortified principal entrance to the
Fix this textMonastery attached to the Abbey, and is
Fix this texta perfect example of medieval
Fix this textarchitecture.
