Day 11 - Anglo Saxons & Bury St. Edmunds

We took a chance and visited a reconstructed Anglo Saxon village on an old archeological site nearby. To our surprise, it was excellent. Their museum gave a wonderful chronology of settlement in England. The reconstructed houses, based on archeological evidence at the site, was equally fascinating.

We also visited market day in our host town of Bury St. Edmunds. It was quite active and the architecture in the downtown area was wonderful. England has something we now rarely have in the U.S…….bookstores. Jim and I enjoyed stopping in and browsing like the old days. However, Jim thought a nation like England should have a better collection of poetry in their bookstores.

Rain cancelled our regular afternoon walk on the footpaths. Maybe tomorrow.Read more
