History of the Athenaeum
Bury St Edmunds continued to develop in the 18th century. The building called the Athenaeum was built early in the 18th century as Assembly Rooms where people could play cards and attend balls. It became the Athenaeum in 1854.
The grade 1 listed building was built by Frederick Sands, the same architect who worked on Ickworth House. Click here to read more.
