Sutton Hoo

In 3K, we have been looking at the Sutton Hoo burial.

We have learnt how King Redwald, who died around 625AD, was buried in a huge ship. A huge mound could be seen, as earth was piled on top of the ship.

Sutton Hoo is the place the King was buried; a place in Suffolk.

The Anglo Saxons believed in the after life, so Redwald's belongings were buried with him. The most noticeable find after an excavation of the mound,was a golden helmet, believed to be the King's.
