The Cathedral church of St James and St Edmund, Bury St Edmunds celebrated its 500th anniversary recently.

When the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich was created in 1914, the Church of St James was designated as the Cathedral. It is adjacent to the ruins of the former great Abbey of St Edmund and was a focus of national and European pilgrimage and the cradle of Magna Carta.

The Cathedral not only serves the community of faith, but supports a county wide role, by hosting civic and county services and anniversary services for voluntary organisations of all kinds, as well as concerts, exhibitions and conferences.
