Holocaust Memorial Day takes place on 27 January each year in the Cathedral grounds of Bury St.Edmunds, and is a time for everyone to pause and remember the millions of people who have been murdered or whose lives have been changed beyond recognition during the Holocaust, Nazi Persecution and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. On Palm Sunday, the 19th March 1190, a group of Christian Crusaders rampaged through Bury St Edmunds and killed 57 Jews. In 2015 the Memorial Day was marked by the unveiling of a one and a half metre teardrop sculpture which forms a centrepiece to a new Peace Garden.

Originating in the 11th century, the cathedral was rebuilt in the 12th and 16th century as a parish church and became a cathedral in 1914. Work started on a Gothic revival style tower in 2000; funded by the Millennium Commission, the Stephen Dykes Bower Trust and others. I think some monies came from the EU as well. That won't happen for much longer I'm afraid. It stands in the grounds of the ruins of the old abbey, which was built in the early 10th century,
