Print This Article Ezine Publisher Send To Friends Add To Favorites Post A Comment Suggest Topic Report Author

Another great historical town in England is one of Bury St. Edmunds. Located in Suffolk County, it used to be known as West Suffolk. Known for a ruined abbey that lies near town center. Industries that the town is known for include British Sugar and Greene King brewing.

This location was once a royal town according to history of Saxons, and also a Villa Faustina for the Romans. Back in 633 A. D. A monastery was founded in this location. It would also be the location of King Edmund's burial.

The Abbey in town was a place that many would travel to on pilgrimage. It may have well been where the Magna Carta was first thought up in the Abbey Church. While in 1235 the site was granted the chance to hold two fairs each year. One of them still takes place, while the second was abolished years back.

Used during World War II as an airfield for the Royal AF. You will find the first illuminated sign here too. Many historic buildings are found here including St. Mary's Church. That would be where Henry VIII had his sister buried. Actually she was reburied in this location.

The Theatre Royal would be built in 1819 by the famous architect William Wilkins. Many shows are held here, and also you can tour this location. While you will be able to visit Moyse's Hall Museum, which is actually possibly one of the oldest buildings domestically in East Anglia.

In that museum you can see many examples of fine art. Plus local history, horology, and information on the Red Barn Murder and Witchcraft in the area. Each year there is held a festival in May. Many things are offered during this time, like concerts, dancing, and crafts.

Many things to see and do that is one thing you can say about Bury St Edmunds.
