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. 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.

  • West Suffolk ist ein Gebiet in der englischen Grafschaft Suffolk, das von 1888 bis 1974 selbst den Status einer Verwaltungsgrafschaft (englisch Administration County) hatte. Der Verwaltungssitz befand sich in Bury St Edmunds. Als 1888 die Verwaltungsgrafschaften eingeführt wurden, wurde die traditionelle Grafschaft Suffolk in drei selbständige Gebiete, West Suffolk und East Suffolk sowie Ipswich als County Borough, aufgeteilt. Dies wurde jedoch mit der Kommunalreform 1974 wieder rückgängig gemacht. Intern gliederte sich East Suffolk in Municipal Boroughs sowie Urban und Rural Districts. Seit April 2019 gibt es West Suffolk wieder als Verwaltungseinheit, nun als Distrikt und in geringerem räumlichen Umfang. (de)
  • 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. (en)
