Book excerpt: Bury St Edmunds Abbey was one of the greatest abbeys in East Anglia and one of the richest in England.

Excerpt: ...now remains in the town of a race of bell-founders which flourished here before the Reformation; an old bell, supposed to have been cast in Bury, was sold, with some other fine old bells, towards the cost of repairing the organ! Dame Mary Jermyn, wife of Sir Thomas Jermyn, Knight, of Rushbrooke, 1679; Mrs. Coel, daughter of Sir Henry Crofts, of Saxham, 1677; Dame Elizabeth de Grey, relict of Sir Robert de Grey, of Merton, Norfolk, 1692. Preachers and Reaa'ers.---J. Knewstubs, ejected for nonconformity, was reader here in 1613. Samuel Slater, preacher, was removed for nonconformity in 1661. Anthony Sparrow, afterwards Bishop of Down and Connor, author of "An Historical Essay concerning Witchcraft," was preacher in 1660; and Robert Butts, afterwards Bishop of Norwich and Ely, in 1 7 22. THE NORMAN T0 WER, principal entrance to the Cemetery of St. Edmund, is immediately opposite the west entrance to the Abbey Church. It is mentioned by monastic writers under the names of "the great gate of the church of St. Edmund," or "the great gate of the churchyard." At the dissolution of the monastery, if not before, it became a parcel of the parish church of St. James. In a rental of Thomas Gnatsall, sacrist, 18 Henry VII., it is called "the church-gate of St. James," and in the deed of feoffment of the Guildhall feoffees, it is spoken of as the "gate and bell-tower called St. James' steeple." It is 86 feet in height, and 36 feet square. The walls, which are nearly six feet in thickness, are faced with an ashlaring of Barnack stone. The general design of each front is the same, except that a few of the mouldings are different and that the eastern archway is plain. The porch on the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Definitive history of the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds during a crucial period in its history. St Edmund's Abbey was one of the most highly privileged and wealthiest religious houses in medieval England, one closely involved with the central government; its history is an integral part of English history. This book (the first of two volumes) offers a magisterial and comprehensive account of the Abbey during the thirteenth century, based primarily on evidence in the abbey's records [over 40 registers survive]. The careers of the abbots, beginning withthe great Samson, provide the chronological structure; separate chapters study various aspects of their rule, such as their relations with the convent, the abbey's internal and external administration and its relations with itstenants and neighbours, with the king and the central government. Chapters are also devoted to the monks' religious, cultural and intellectual life, to their writings, book collection and archives. Appendices focus on the mid-thirteenth century accounts which give a unique and detailed picture of the organisation and economy of St Edmunds' estates in West Suffolk, and on the abbey's watermills and windmills. Dr ANTONIA GRANSDEN is former Reader atthe University of Nottingham.

Download or read book A History of Bury St Edmunds written by Frank Meeres and published by Phillimore. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bury St. Edmunds has an extraordinary history. The ancient Saxon settlement of Bedricesworth was transformed when the body of Edmund, the martyred King of the East Saxons, was brought to the town in the early 10th century. Around his tomb grew one of the largest abbeys in England, together with a planned new town, the grid pattern of which still survives. In the Middle Ages, Bury had an importance out of all proportion to its size: Parliaments were held here and many Kings of England were visitors.After the abbey was dissolved, Bury remained the heart of West Suffolk and was formally county town between 1888 and 1974. This new book combines archaeological evidence with documentary research to create a vivid picture of the town at every stage in its development and of the lives of its people; how they made their livings, their health, housing, religion, culture and entertainments. Famous townspeople are discussed, but the emphasis is on the ordinary inhabitant. The story is brought right up to the present day, including the effects on Bury of the great conflicts of the 20th century, in the second half of which it enjoyed rapid growth, with new light industry and tourism supplementing the traditional agriculture-based trades.In this, his seventh book on the history of East Anglia, the author, a professional historian and teacher of local history, has provided a much-needed account of Bury's entire past, richly illustrated and very readable, which will appeal to everyone who knows the place ... one of the most beautiful towns in England.
