From the Middle Ages, when this historic market town grew as a
thriving centre of the wool industry, to its current status as a
popular tourist destination and cultural and retail hub for West
Suffolk, Bury St Edmunds has a proud and distinctive identity. This
extraordinary history is embodied in the many fine buildings that
have shaped the town. Bury St Edmunds in 50 Buildings explores the
history of this rich and vibrant community through a selection of
its greatest architectural treasures. From the remains of its
famous abbey to the new Gothic Revival cathedral tower, built as
part of the Millennium Project between 2000 and 2005, this study
celebrates Bury St Edmunds' architectural heritage in a new and
accessible way. Local author and historian Martyn Taylor guides
readers on a tour of the town's historic buildings and modern
architectural marvels.
