Dr Sam Newton presents
Sutton Hoo Studies
2011-2012 Wednesday Morning Seminars at Sutton Hoo
An exploration of the artistic and technical wonders found aboard the great ship-burial berthed beneath Mound One at Sutton Hoo, in the light of Old English poetry, literature, history, art, and landscape studies. We shall also consider my editions and translations of pertinent Old English and related texts.
Seminars are held at the National Trust Visitors' Centre at Sutton Hoo, usually in the Old (squash) Court, just across the parade ground from the car park.
