| St Edmund is said to have become the King of the East Angles while still a youth. In 869 a great host of Danes took up quarters in Norfolk and Edmund led his troops against them, but was defeated. When Edmund refused to share his Christian Kingdom with the heathen invaders he was tied to a tree and shot with arrows until his body was like a thistle covered with prickles, then his head was cut off. He was speedily revered as a martyr, and it is therefore not surprising that Crofton Old Church was dedicated to him, as it was built soon after his death. |
