Bury St Edmunds Abbey Coaster by artist Emily Ward has been hand pressed locally onto a FSC rated hardbacked coaster. The coaster has been produced from original art by Emily.
Full of colour and light, Emily’s coaster shows the historic beauty of Bury St Edmunds Abbey in a wonderfully uplifting style.
The vivid blue sky provides a striking backdrop to the abbey's magnificent tower, while delicate splashes of pink, yellow and white dance across the scene. Surrounded by vibrant green trees and sunlit lawns, the historic building is beautifully framed by nature.
In the foreground, an abundance of wildflowers blooms in shades of blush pink, crisp white and golden yellow, creating a rich tapestry of colour that perfectly complements the grandeur of the abbey and captures the peaceful beauty of this much loved Suffolk setting.

Bury St Edmunds Abbey
Located in the heart of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, Bury St Edmunds Abbey was one of the wealthiest and most important Benedictine monasteries in medieval England. Founded in 1020 by King Cnut (Canute), it was built to house the shrine of Saint Edmund, the Anglo-Saxon King of East Anglia, whose remains attracted pilgrims from across the country.
Although much of the abbey
now stands as impressive ruins, it remains a Scheduled Monument set within the beautiful Abbey Gardens. The site played a significant role in English history, with the barons believed to have gathered here in 1214 to swear an oath that eventually led to the sealing of the Magna Carta.
Today, the magnificent ruins provide a fascinating glimpse into the abbey's former grandeur and remain one of Suffolk's most treasured historic landmarks.
