A beautiful atmospheric building nested on the southernmost edge of Suffolk. Much is made of St Edmund's cruel death and later his burial at Bury St Edmunds but the regal story started here at Bures. In 855AD a procession left from the nearby royal palace and made its way to the point where the young Edmund was crowned. A large stone marks the spot where Bishop Humbert placed the crown of the king of East Anglia on the fifteen year old's head. Sadly fifteen years later the same bishop was executed within minutes of Edmund by the Vikings at what is believed to be Hoxne. The St Stephen's chapel building is fascinating and somehow feels right and just like stepping back in time. Its restoration is subtle although it's known that the three tombs are made up of fragments from seven tombs from Earls Colne priory. The building has suffered over the years. When its restoration was completed in 1218 it was consecrated by Stephen Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury. Amazingly three years before Archbishop Langton stood at the head of the barons at Runnymede compelling King John to sign the Magna Carta, the foundation of modern democracy.

6. Catholic Cathedral of St John the Baptist

If you have never visited the Cathedral of St John the Baptist – now’s the time! The Cathedral of St John the Baptist is the second largest Catholic Cathedral in the UK. After nearly a century as the parish church of the Catholic community in Norwich it became the mother church of the new diocese of East Anglia in 1976. Now a Grade 1 listed building, its external grandeur and magnificent interior, especially the fine stonework and beautiful stained glass, make it well worth a visit for those interested in religious, spiritual or architectural history. You can even take tours up the tower, and see the wonderful views of Norwich and beyond. Since the opening of the Narthex in May 2010, the Cathedral also has an education gallery, a shop, a refectory and a community garden. Not only is the Cathedral an inspiring setting, but it is also a wonderful place to relax. Open seven days a week – 7.30am – 7.30pm. Entrance is FREE.

A short walk out of the town centre but worth the visit. A good introduction to the Catholic faith in the entrance lobby. The Cathedral itself is in excellent condition and hard to believe it's only 100 years old. Built in the traditional Gothic style.

Inside, the Cathedral tells almost 1000 years of history, with our enthusiastic volunteers on hand to talk you through the incredible stories of its past.There is more to see at Norwich Cathedral than you think.

Where to begin?! I am a cathedral lover but had forgotten how special Norwich is. Boasting the largest cathedral close in England, the essentially Norman building is topped by a later, but most elegant spire. Strolling around the exterior gave glorious views across fields. I walked in at 7.30am to find the building deserted but bathed in wonderful summer sunshine. I watched peregrine falcons soar from the spire over the nave, I gawped at the 1380 dated reredos with its detailed painting and interesting political, as well as religious, story, and I gazed at the delightful and humorous roof bosses high over head -and the hidden misericords under choir stall seats. The cathedral also has some very good wall paintings which are well preserved (relatively) and worth taking time to see. Look out especially (in the south part of the nave) for the painting of the Bishop receiving money from King Rufus to buy his job! Stay as long as you can. And say a prayer there too! Did I mention the excellent small gift shop and the superb new refectory serving great food at reasonable prices? Wow! What a special place!
