St Edmund, King and Martyr church is the main catholic church in Bury St Edmunds and is where we are planning on having our wedding ceremony! It's easily recognisable by it's classic roman style frontage and is located on Westgate street, at the end of a row that includes Greene King's brewery and the rest of the famous brewer's offices.
The Priest who will be doin' the stuff for us is Monsignor Phillip Shryane, who Naomi has known since moving to Bury St Edmunds in 2004. He has kindly agreed to even tolerate my heathen ways (in no small part to Naomi's charm).
"Fr Philip Shryane has been parish priest at St Edmund's for more than 10 years. The Council is very much part of our parish life and is a great source of advice and a lively area for consultation, those elected can make a valuable contribution to the life of the parish. The advice of the Council has been particularly important in the planning of our building projects over the last two years." -St Edmunds Website

There's loads more information, and more photographs of the church on their official website: http://www.stedmundkm.org.uk/
As a final note, I would just like to say the front of the church does not at all make me think of this classic lunn poly advert
