Remains of Bury St Edmunds Abbey, Suffolk, England, UK, looking SW over the E end of the church to the piers of the crossing above to the R: the foundations of the crypt are beneath what was the presbytery (sanctuary). The shrine with relics of martyred Saxon King Edmund (d. 870) was in the apse behind the High Altar above the crypt. It was made of golden plates decorated with precious stones on a base of green & purple marble surrounded by candles, crosses & jewels. On St Edmund's Day, 20 Novemebr 1214, Cardinal Langton appointed 25 Barons who swore on the High Altar to enforce King John's observance of Magna Carta. Bury was a major pilgrimage centre and one of the six richest Benedictine monasteries in England, it was finally surrendered to Henry VIII in 1539 & used as a quarry by the townsfolk.
