Many local cures of serious illnesses were attributed to the intercession of St Edmund; one of the earliest of these was of a student who nearly died after a fall in 1871. His complete healing led to the accomplishment of a vow to extend the [[Augustus Pugin|Pugin]] chapel with a side chapel to honour the saint.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Griffiths |first=Thomas |title=St Edmund's College Chapel |url=http://www.stedmundscollege.org/assets/Pugin_Chapel.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304003318/http://www.stedmundscollege.org/assets/Pugin_Chapel.pdf |archive-date=4 March 2016 |access-date=11 February 2023 |website=St Edmund's College & Prep School}}</ref> The Islamic silk [[chasuble]], with the main fabric probably made in [[Al-Andalus]], that Edmund had with him at his death remains in the museum in Provins, with a stole and [[Maniple (vestment)|maniple]].<ref>[http://cdm16028.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/compoundobject/collection/p15324coll10/id/111171 The Art of medieval Spain, A.D. 500β1200], an exhibition catalog from The Metropolitan Museum of Art Libraries (fully available online as PDF), #57</ref>
