Reconstructing Bury St Edmunds Abbey | Dr Steven Brindle

The famous monastery at Bury St Edmunds had one of the largest churches in Europe. However, it was comprehensively destroyed in the mid-16th century, apart from part of the shell of the west front. The site was partially excavated by the Ministry of Works c. 1957-64. However, the fragmentary state of the ruins has long presented a challenge, both in understanding this major monument of Romanesque architecture, and in interpreting and presenting the site to visitors. English Heritage has carried out new research and survey work, bringing together different strands of evidence to produce new reconstructions of the abbey church, for a new suite of graphic panels, that were recently installed. This paper presents the project, the evidence, and their new interpretation of this major site.
