Bury St Edmunds is one of England's best preserved medieval towns, where King Edmund was buried in the abbey that gave the town its name. The Abbey ruins, the Greene King brewery, the Theatre Royal (one of only eight surviving Regency theatres), and a vibrant independent retail scene create a highly attractive commercial environment. The town is growing rapidly with major housing expansion.
