In the early 12th century the Abbot, Anselm had wanted to make a pilgrimage along the Way of St James to Santiago de Compostela. He was unsuccessful and instead rebuilt St Denis's and dedicated the new church to Saint James, which served as the parish church for the north side of Bury St Edmunds. This church was largely rebuilt, starting in 1503, with more alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. When the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich was created in 1914, St James Church was made the cathedral. In 1959 Benjamin Britten wrote the Fanfare for St Edmundsbury for a "Pageant of Magna Carta" held in the cathedral grounds. From 1960 onwards, there was renewed building work designed to transform the parish church into a cathedral building, with the rebuilding of the chancel and the creation of transepts and side chapels. The cathedral architect from 1943 to 1988 was Stephen Dykes Bower and he left £2 million for the completion of the cathedral. : 2013, Bury St. Edmunds, England, Englanti, G12, Holiday, city, kaupunki, kesäloma, matka, travel

It therefore followed that the Great Eastern Hotel was built to enable prosperous continental travellers to be entertained in luxury. The Hotel was built by Thomas Allom in 'the free Italian or mixed style' and was opened in July 1865. Ten roundels on the front portray national historical figures. The facia for the hotel name is under the clock. Unfortunately the building was on too grand a scale and was not economically successful. It still stands on the quay but has had a variety of uses. During WW1 it was used by the Admiralty and served as a military hospital. The Admiralty again used it in WW2 as administrative offices. In 1951 it became the Town Hall and municipal offices. It is now in private ownership having been converted into flats. : 2013, England, Englanti, Holiday, Nokia Pureview 808, city, kaupunki, kesäloma, matka, travel 2013-08-15 808 Harwich (32) Standing on Harwich Quay, the Pier Hotel is located in two lovely historic buildings.
