Beodricesworth monastery was a monastery that would later become Bury St Edmunds Abbey. The site that probably had a monastery founded by the East Anglian king Saint Sigeberht some three centuries earlier to which he retired after abdicating. Edmund the Martyr was a King of East Anglia who had been killed by the Viking Great Heathen Army, traditionally thought to be Ivar the Boneless, son of Ragnar Lodbrok with his severed head thrown into the wood. As Edmund's followers searched for him, calling out "Where are you, friend?" the head answered, Her, her, her ("Here! Here! Here!") until at last they found it, clasped between a wolf's paws, protected from other animals and uneaten. The followers then recovered the head. His incorrupt relics were venerated at a wooden chapel in Haegelisdun near to where he was killed. At a date generally assumed by historians to have been during the reign of Æthelstan, who became king of the Anglo-Saxons in 924, Edmund the Martyr's body was translated to Beodricesworth In 925 Æthelstan refounded a monastery at Beodricesworth to take care of Edmund's shrine, and the town changed its name to St Edmunds Bury. The chronicler Abbo of Fleury failed to date these events surrounding Edmund's translation to Beodericsworth, although from his text it can be seen that he believed that the relics had been taken to Beodericsworth by the time that Theodred became Bishop of London in around 926. At this time the early shrine was guarded by a group of secular priests. Upon exhumation of the body, a miracle was discovered. All the arrow wounds upon Edmund's undecayed corpse had healed and his head was reattached. In 942 or 945, King Edmund I had granted to the abbot and convent jurisdiction over the town of Bury St Edmunds, free from all secular services. In 1010, Edmund's remains were translated to London to protect them from the Vikings, where they were kept for three years before being returned to Bury. In c. 1020, under the auspices of King Canute and Ælfwine of Elmham, the then Bishop of Elmham, they were replaced by monks from St Benet's Abbey and a Benedictine Abbey of St Edmundsbury was founded, free from control of a bishop.

West Suffolk was an administrative county of England created in 1889 from part of the county of Suffolk. It survived until 1974 when it was rejoined with East Suffolk. Its county town was Bury St Edmunds. Before the introduction of county councils, Suffolk had been divided into eastern and western divisions, each with their own quarter sessions. The western division corresponded to the Liberty of Saint Edmund. This area had been established by Edward the Confessor in 1044 and was a separate jurisdiction under the control of the abbot of Bury St Edmunds Abbey until the dissolution of the monasteries.This history was reflected in the coat of arms of the county council. The council initially adopted the attributed arms of Edward the Confessor: a cross patonce between five martlets. When the council received an official grant of arms from the College of Arms in 1959, abbots' mitres and the emblem of St Edmund: crossed arrows through an open crown were added. The motto adopted was For King, Law and People, referring to the association of Magna Carta with Bury.Shortly before its abolition the West Suffolk County Council commissioned Elisabeth Frink to sculpt a statue of St Edmund to commemorate the end of 970 years of independent administration of the area. The statue, in the grounds of the abbey of Bury St Edmunds, was completed in 1976.
