Hello Thea...local mythology places the site of Edmund's death as a field in Hoxne, Suffolk, that he was captured hiding under a bridge...his original burial site is alleged to be Hoxne Priory - now Abbey Farm, a private house of Tudor origin which belongs to my friend Wilf White! Affectionately known now as "Wilf Hall", Abbey Farm is on Abbey Hill in Hoxne; my friend is Andrew E W WHITE, known to all as Wilf (his third name is Wilfrid). He'd be delighted to talk to you if you'd like to know any more - do pm me if you'd like an email address for him. He's a fine scholar, so his input is top notch, but also the warmest, kindest, and most distractable old duffer one will ever meet. Like a witty walking museum who is blissfully unaware of how he ended up with this enormous number of friends! Truth is, I reckon we'd all fall apart a bit without our Favourite Old Git. 😍
