| Bury
St Edmunds, once an important religious centre after Edmund,
last king of the East Angles, was killed in 870
and proclaimed a martyr. His body was moved to here in 903,
the town was then known as Bury.
The Abbey was destroyed in the Dissolution, but the ruins
can still be seen, along with the two remaining gates.
The Cathedral Church of St James is separated from St Mary's
Church, 15th century, by a graveyard.
The town now is a major market and shopping town with old
streets and buildings.
There is a Tourist Information Centre from which walking
tours of the town are available.
