Edmund, King and Martyr

This medieval church was destroyed in the Great Fire
of 1666. Sir Christopher Wren designed the tower like a lighthouse
(1670-79). Edmund, King of East Anglia, was captured by the Danish Great Heathen Army; he refused to renounce Christ and died the death of a Christian martyr. |
