The branch of the Premier Inn I stayed in at Bury St Edmunds was previously the town gaol, and retained some of the original features (not in my room, I’m happy to say). After not singing last year with the Cathedral Chamber Choir, I rejoined them for a weekend of services at the Cathedral conducted by Chris Pilgrim.
The real west end of the Cathedral and its Lego equivalent. Can you tell which is which?
Despite concerns that the time of year might be uncongenial, we had a large choir and some juggling was required to fit into the choir stalls. Our repertoire was all very familiar music to me. We sang an evensong and a Eucharist at the Cathedral then made way for guitars in the afternoon and went along the road to St Mary’s Church, which would be the most impressive church in many places.
