The Abbey of St Edmund Heritage Partnership and the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology & History have teamed up to create a series of online talks on the Abbey.

This series of talks is aimed at improving our understanding of what was there and what has, over time, been lost, so that people can fully appreciate the importance of the Abbey of St Edmund.

The speakers draw upon the vast body of research carried out since the Abbey was closed down (dissolved) in 1539. This research covers many different aspects, each of which can which help us to understand the true splendour of the Abbey and how it worked within the medieval world, now lost.

The talks below are free to watch and are supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and various local business sponsors.

1000 years since the founding of the Abbey of St Edmund will be marked with a year of celebrations in 2022. Find out more with our Abbey 1000 Guide.
