Bury St. Edmunds

Friday, January 7th, I went on the Newcomer's tour, which included driving us all around the base and the villages nearby.  The tour ended at Bury St. Edmunds, which is about 20 - 30 minutes from the base.  We had lunch at a great pub, Queen's Head.  I had the Steak and Guinness Pie, I love the steak pie.  I still have to get some fish and chips, but every time I see steak pie on the menu, I can't resist. 

Original stained glass that was made in about 1320.

Angel Hil, which is a war memorial.

The village of Bury St. Edmunds is an awesome little place to visit.  There are the remains of an Benedictine Abbey that was built in the11th century.  The cathedral Bury St. Edmunds was also built in the 11th century.  There is one stained glass window that was built from broken pieces of glass in about 1320.  It was a really nice tour.  I am sure that I will be returning to Bury St. Edmunds for more exploring on my own!
