The Bury St Edmunds witch trials were conducted intermittently between the years 1599 and 1694 in the town of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, England. The 1645 trial, 'facilitated' by the Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins, saw eighteen people executed in one day. The judgment in the 1662 trial by the future Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, Sir Matthew Hale, acted as a powerful influence on the continuing persecution of witches in England and similar persecutions in the American Colonies.

9 November: dinner at Amigos, Bury St Edmunds
first time trying a Mexican restaurant in the UK! my partner got a veg chimichanga & a piña colada, and I got pollo con salsa verde enchiladas & a mango rum thing 🍹 everything was delicious, drinks were great, the place was very aesthetic and the staff had great vibes! my only complaint is that the salsa verde wasn't very spicy but... I am learning that's the norm for England 🙃 my meal was still flavorful and yummy, and I would definitely go back.
7/10, needs more picante 🌶️

Pubs in Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds
Pub 92 - Alexandra Arms
This Greene King pub had a good range of beers and a nice atmosphere.
Pub 93 - Maypole
The Maypole is a super pub with nice Italian food and a great range of beers. Unfortunately I had the wrong dark beer and should have had the stronger Moongazer beer.
Pub 94 - Haymakers
A Milton pub where I had the 7.5% Marcus Aurelius and a Lasagne to soak up the beer.
Pub 95 - Live and Let Live
This is a nice pub which was bustling on a Monday night.
Pub 96 - Elm Tree
I went here with my friend and had a very nice beer.
Pub 97 - Cambridge Blue
The Blue Moon wasn't in the guide (nor was the Kingston Arms) but this classic was as good as always.
Pub 98 - Oakes Yard
Bury St Edmunds is well stocked for pubs and I found the Oakes Yard great for both food and drinks
Pub 99 - Old Cannon Brewery
This is an excellent venue that does its own beer, the Black Pig was particularly nice.
Pub 100 - The Nutshell
The famous pub is supposedly one of the smallest in the country. It has a limited beer range but is a fascinating place to visit.
Pub 101 - Royal William
The pub is near Stowmarket station and had an excellent beer selection when I visited. A lovely atmosphere and great beer.

St Edmund’s Day
Tumblr media
The Martyrdom of Edmund from the Passio Sancto Eadmundi. Source: Wikipedia
Today is St Edmund’s Day. Also known as Edmund the Martyr, he was king of East Anglia when the Anglo-Saxon kingdom was attacked by the Viking Great Heathen Army in 869. Edmund led his soldiers out to oppose the invaders but the East Anglians were defeated. Whether Edmund was killed in the battle of Hoxne in Suffolk or taken prisoner by the Danes and murdered thereafter is a matter of dispute. Tradition has it that the Vikings offered to spare Edmund his life and return him to the throne of East Anglia if he would embrace the Norse pagan religion and rule as a Scandinavian puppet. Edmund supposedly piously refused and paid a grisly price: the Viking warriors tied the king to a tree and shot him full of arrows. Sainthood and martyrdom were then mere formalities. Other traditions make Edmund less heroic. It is said that he fled the field of Hoxne and hid under Goldbrook Bridge, but that the glint of his royal golden spurs was spotted by a newly wed couple who immediately gave him away. As the king was hustled away by the Danes, Edmund cursed all married couples crossing the bridge and to this day, newlyweds in Hoxne take an alternative route home.
Edmund was buried in a Suffolk town which appropriately became named Bury St Edmunds thereafter. His feast day remained popular in the county with a special bun being baked and issued to schoolchildren every November 20th. Unsurprisingly it was called St Edmund’s Bun.

I left to go to an old friend’s wedding in England. Then, I didn’t come home for a while.
