Source/Archive record SSF62383 - The Abbey of St Edmund Heritage Assessment

This report focusses on the heritage of the precinct, with a specific emphasis on its historic environment and the heritage assets which are to be found within it. For the first time, this report collates and assesses all of the available historical and archaeological information, characterises the known and potential archaeological and built heritage resource, and reviews the history of the site from the earliest times to the present day. The research undertaken for this assessment has identified over 100 individual episodes of archaeological or antiquarian investigation. This project was commissioned by St Edmundsbury Borough Council and funded by St Edmundsbury Council and Historic England.
