Edmund was born in 841 and became the King of East Anglia in 865. In 869 he led his army against the Viking invaders but was defeated and captured. He refused to deny his Christian faith, was tied to a tree and shot with arrows until dead. The parish church of Southwold is dedicated to St Edmund. It is considered to be one of Suffolk's finest. The church lies under one continuous roof. It was built over about 60 years from the 1430s to the 1490s, and replaced a smaller 13th-century church that was destroyed by fire. The earlier church dated from the time when Southwold was a small fishing hamlet adjacent to the larger Reydon. By the 15th century Southwold was an important town in its own right, and the church was rebuilt to match its power and wealth.
