For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.In east Suffolk in Iken there is St Botulf's Minster....well worth a visit if you ever in that area. Wonderful ! Not far from Sutton Hoo. It was a monastery which is where it gets it title.. Minster ..as the abbot presided rather than a bishop because the old English word mynster means monastery.Pre reformation as were many cathedrals and churches. It isn't the seat of a bishop nowadays...but still retains the name.
