| Bury St Edmunds |
Behind the faces of the many Georgian looking
buildings in Bury St Edmunds are houses of the 17th Century
and earlier. Much of the town dates from the period 1750-1850.
Two of the oldest buildings are in Churchgate Street, at one
end you will find Norman House and at the opposite end Cemetery
Gate. The latter served as a bell-tower to St James's, now the
Cathedral.
Nearby you will also find the early 15th Century St Mary's with
it's beautiful roof and fine chancel monuments.
Apart from the gateway (which dates from 1347) the only remains
of the medieval Abbey are to found in Abbey Gardens.
Also of note and of architectural importance is a fine Georgian
Unitarian Chapel and Angel Corner (which now belongs to the
National Trust). |
