Bury St Edmunds
Bury St Edmunds is a market town in Suffolk, England. It grew around the abbey that housed the relics of Edmund, the East Anglian king killed by the Great Heathen Army in 869, whose shrine became one of the great pilgrimage centres of medieval England. Tradition holds that in 1214 barons met in the abbey church to swear to force King John to accept the charter that became Magna Carta.
