The Church of St. Edmund
Bishop de la Wyle founded a collegiate church here in 1269 to serve the newly created parish of St. Edmund. Nothing remains of this church and in 1407 a new church was built. The nave was used as the parish church and the chancel used by the priests of the college. The church was closed as a place of worship in 1974; it is now an Arts Centre.
The Church has been at the heart of the city, close to the market place, since 1246. It houses the largest and best preserved Doom painting still surviving., depicting the Last judgement. The tower has a clock with striking "Jacks" dated 1582.
