The Society is a registered charity, which was founded in 1984 to support and further the work of Professor Martin Carver's ground - breaking excavations of the Anglo-Saxon royal burial site in Suffolk.
The Society’s focus is to advance knowledge about Sutton Hoo and the wider Anglo-Saxon kingdom of the East Angles. Our work includes funding academic research and through publication and lectures informing the wider world of that knowledge. We also train guides to provide tours and talks which interpret the history of the burial mounds at Sutton Hoo (now in the hands of the National Trust). The Society works closely with the National Trust to further enhance the visitor experience through, for example, granting funds towards display material and we have provided a handling collection of objects from the Mound 1 excavation.
