It is apparently ‘famous’, as claimed by its inhabitants, yet 99.9% of people I know have never heard of such a place, so I am forced to give them the crude description of “It’s somewhere near Cambridge” to satisfy their curiosity. The source of the town’s reputed fame is an old story that St. Edmund was slain by the Danes in 869 and was buried in the cathedral. However, that was over 1100 years ago, but the residents of Bury St. Edmunds still feel their town is extremely significant historically, and, in the unlikely event of tourists, never cease to retell the story. Unfortunately, it has been altered in so many places that nobody actually knows the real story; it has become more of a ploy to attract visitors.
