Abbey of St Edmund Resource pack
St Edmundsbury Borough Council produced a resource pack on the Abbey of St Edmund to support teaching on Key Stage3: Medieval Realms, back in the 1990s. Today this may seem rather outdated but it still provides some excellent information in the form of what were originally a series of A4 sheets. It will, of course, not have the most up to date details.
The pack contains information under the following headings:
- Sources of Evidence
- The Abbey of St Edmund
- A Benedictine Abbey
- The Monks of the Abbey
- The Building of the Abbey
- The Abbey Precinct
- The Abbey and the Crown
- The Abbey and the Town
- The Dissolution of the Abbey
This Resource Pack is downloadable below in the form of three different pdfs.
