Anglo-Saxon Suffolk



Suffolk's sandy soils, proximity to the sea and links with north-west Europe make it a major source of Anglo-Saxon history (although a rich burial has recently been uncovered at Prittlewell, Essex) and site of the only ship burials in Britain:

West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village, Bury St Edmunds (01284 728718; www.weststow.org), is a reconstruction of a village, archaeological evidence of which was found under sandy deposits in the Sixties. Its living history events show how people lived in the seventh century.

Snape Anglo-Saxon Ship Burial, Aldeburgh Museum (01728 454666;

www.aldeburghmuseum.org.uk): nowhere near as rich a find as Sutton Hoo, it did yield a gold ring set with a Roman intaglio, plus the remains of a claw beaker – a drinking glass with hollow protrusions. A replica ring, the beaker and burial urns can be seen at the museum.

Ipswich Museum (01206 282931; www.ipswich.gov.uk), run by Colchester and Ipswich Museum Services, has an Anglo-Saxon Art in the Round exhibition until September 5 in Gallery 3 in the Town Hall, with lovely objects on display and workshops on Saxon torc, or brooch, making.
