St Edmund and the Wolf

St Edmund

St Edmund used to be the patron saint of England before Saint George came along and usurped his position.

A king of East Anglia in the mid 9th century, he was murdered by Vikings and later was made a saint and buried within the Abbey in Bury St Edmunds.

Nothing is left of his elaborate shrine as this was destroyed during the English Reformation.

All that is left of the Abbey, are ruins, within what is now the Abbey Gardens. On a green, besides St Edmundsbury Cathedral, are two statues, one of St Edmund, the other a wolf. As with other saints, St Edmund has legends attached to him, one concerns a wolf.

Framlingham Castle, Suffolk.

A collage of images from Framlingham Castle in Suffolk. A medieval castle with Tudor and later additions.

All of my photos are taken on my phone and my art work and videos are produced on my phone, which isn’t a new model.

I’m trying to get some money together to buy a PC and camera equipment to help set up a small Photographic and art business.

I do have a Ko-fi account.
