Test your knowledge of Bury St Edmunds’ heritage with these 11 questions

You’ll probably pick up bits of information about its history from friends, neighbours and relatives, as well as through visiting new places or just stumbling across facts on the internet.

In the second of our series testing your knowledge of Suffolk towns, we’re focusing on Bury St Edmunds.

Its transport infrastructure, significant historical events and famous former residents are included amongst the questions’ subjects.

But it won’t be an easy ride – most of the questions are a bit harder than simply ‘Who is the town named after’.

In fact, St Edmund doesn’t feature at all – so you’ll need a broader knowledge than just titbits about England’s former patron saint.

Have a go at answering our questions then share the quiz with your friends and family to see who can get the best score.
