Bury St Edmunds Cathedral/Abbey. For over 1,000 years, the site of Suffolk ’s Cathedral has been one of worship and pilgrimage. The death of Edmund, King of the East Angles, at the hands of the Danes in 869 led to the building of an abbey to house his remains. St James’s Church was built within the precincts of the Abbey, becoming a Cathedral in 1914. #cathedral #Burystedmunds #suffolk #religion #architecture #history #buildings #gardens #Abbey #England #UnitedKingdom
