The remarkable archaeological project subtitled The heart of a kingdom AD 400-800 has spawned an exhibition at the Sutton Hoo centre which runs until 29 October. This is the story of an Anglo-Saxon royal settlement in Suffolk, the largest and wealthiest of its time known in England. On display are 1,400-year-old artefacts, many never before seen by the public, which help tell the story of Rendlesham’s royal connections and its international importance. Entry is free with site admission.

An accompanying booklet has been published by Suffolk County Council. We hope to include a longer article in our October issue.
