Excerpt: ...now remains in the town of a race of bell-founders which flourished here before the Reformation; an old bell, supposed to have been cast in Bury, was sold, with some other fine old bells, towards the cost of repairing the organ! Dame Mary Jermyn, wife of Sir Thomas Jermyn, Knight, of Rushbrooke, 1679; Mrs. Coel, daughter of Sir Henry Crofts, of Saxham, 1677; Dame Elizabeth de Grey, relict of Sir Robert de Grey, of Merton, Norfolk, 1692.

THE NORMAN T0 WER, principal entrance to the Cemetery of St. Edmund, is immediately opposite the west entrance to the Abbey Church. It is mentioned by monastic writers under the names of "the great gate of the church of St. Edmund," or "the great gate of the churchyard." At the dissolution of the monastery, if not before, it became a parcel of the parish church of St. James. In a rental of Thomas Gnatsall, sacrist, 18 Henry VII., it is called "the church-gate of St. James," and in the deed of feoffment of the Guildhall feoffees, it is spoken of as the "gate and bell-tower called St. James' steeple."

In this interdisciplinary study of drama, arts, and spirituality, Gail Gibson provides a provocative reappraisal of fifteenth-century English theater through a detailed portrait of the flourishing cultures of Suffolk and Norfolk.

A Trial of Witches
Author: Ivan BunnPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134696329
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
In 1662, Amy Denny and Rose Cullender were accused of witchcraft, and, in one of the most important of such cases in England, stood trial and were hanged in Bury St Edmunds. A Trial of Witches is a complete account of this sensational trial and an analysis of the court procedures, and the larger social, cultural and political concerns of the period. In a critique of the official process, the book details how the erroneous conclusions of the trial were achieved. The authors consider the key participants in the case, including the judge and medical witness, their institutional importance, their part in the fate of the women and their future careers. Through detailed research of primary sources, the authors explore the important implications of this case for the understanding of hysteria, group mentality, social forces and the witchcraft phenomenon as a whole.
