I too was born in Bury St Edmunds 68 years ago and so the book brought back happy memories.

Purchase options and add-ons
Bury St Edmunds History Tour is a unique guide to the illustrious past of one of Suffolk’s finest historic gems. Originally called Bedricesworth, the name was eventually changed due to the popularity of the pilgrimage site of ninth-century East Anglian king, Edmund the Martyr. Local author Martyn Taylor guides us through the streets of this everpopular tourist destination, showing how its famous landmarks used to look and how they’ve changed over the years, as well as exploring its lesser-known sights and hidden corners. With the help of a handy location map, readers are invited to follow a timeline of events and discover for themselves the changing face of Bury St Edmunds.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 June 2017
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2024A slight and disappointing read, lots of pictures with minimal text. It left mw with lots of unanswered questions.
A recommendation would be 'Bury St Edmunds - A Self-Guided Walking Trail and Short History' by Stephen Moody £3 from St Edmundsbury Cathedral Shop, with fuller information and a useful town map.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 August 2019Not bad for the price
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 April 2017Not too bad, a few interesting snippets of information . Not really very detailed and not a very logical tour.
