Talk: Professor Christopher Scull - Rendlesham & the East Anglian Kingdom
The Aldeburgh and District Local History Society in collaboration with the Aldeburgh Society has arranged a special lecture by Professor Christopher Scull.
In 2007 illegal metal-detecting alerted archaeologists to a site of exceptional importance at Rendlesham in south-east Suffolk the 7th-century East Anglian royal centre mentioned by the Venerable Bede in his Ecclesiastical History of the English People .
Archaeologist Professor Christopher Scull, who helped lead the project, guides you through the 15-year investigation which has revealed the largest and wealthiest settlement of its time known in England, and changed how we think about the earliest English kingdoms and their rulers.
