About Bury St Edmunds - show infohide info

Bury St Edmunds is a town in the county of Suffolk, and is the main town in the borough of St Edmundsbury. It began as a Saxon settlement called Bedric’s Worth. Worth came from the Saxon word meaning an enclosure, much like a farm or hamlet being surrounded by a stockade. Bury St Edmunds’ most famous structure is probably the ruined abbey near the town centre. The monastery was built as a shrine to Saint Edmund, the Saxon King of the East Angles, when he killed by the Danes in 869 AD. Bury St Edmunds’ had initially grown around the abbey which was a site of pilgrimage. As people began to settle, by the 14th century Bury had developed into a thriving cloth making town. It was at Bury St Edmunds that the barons of England met in 1214. In the Abbey Church, they swore to force King John to comply with the Charter of Liberties, which later became the Magna Carter. The abbey was mostly demolished in the 16th century following the dissolution of the monasteries, yet Bury St Edmunds continued to flourish during the 17th and 18th century. Following the industrial revolution, Bury, as with many places in rural settings, fell into decline, but continued to settle as a market town. The cathedral of Bury St Edmunds is the only recently completed cathedral in the United Kingdom. It was built originally in 1913 and is next to the abbey. The eastern end was increased in the 1960s, with a new Gothic revival tower as a millennium project addition from 2000. Completed using the traditional techniques, the tower of Bury St Edmunds cathedral saw six skilled craftsmen cut and position each individual stone. Other famous establishments in Bury include the Greene King Brewery, which produces India Pale Ale. Another brewery is in the Old Canon pub. Bury can also boast Britain’s smallest pub, The Nutshell, which is located just off the marketplace. The largest building is Bury’s British Sugar factory, which refines crystal sugar from sugar beet. The Silver Spoon sugar factory was built in 1925, and uses beets from approximately 1,300 local growers. A modern development in Bury St Edmunds includes the world’s first internet bench, installed in the abbey gardens in the 1990s. However, as well as allowing people to connect to the internet, it also inadvertently allowed for free phone calls!
