The Ship Burial at Sutton Hoo

Lecture by Imogen Corrigan

The extraordinary hoard found at Sutton Hoo dates to the early 7th century and tells us a great deal about wealth of the country at that time.

The lecture uses images of the treasures as well as Old English poetry to discuss kingship and power in Anglo-Saxon England.
