A new exhibition showing Anglo-Saxon discoveries from Suffolk is set to go on show at the National Trust's Sutton Hoo visitor centre this year.

The Trust has linked up with Suffolk County Council's archaeology team which has been uncovering the site at nearby Rendlesham - thought to have been the capital of King Raedwald's Kingdom of East Anglia.

The exhibition opens at Sutton Hoo on March 23 and will run until October 29. Entry will be included in the normal admission charge to Sutton Hoo, which is free for National Trust members.

Suffolk County Council’s Archaeological Service is curating the exhibition to celebrate “Rendlesham Revealed”, a community archaeology project funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Two years of excavations at sites in the Deben valley have now been completed, with the final season running this autumn.

Melanie Vigo di Gallidoro from the council said: “Hundreds of local volunteers have been at the heart of the project and its discoveries."

The National Trust's Laura Howarth added: “In the rich tapestry of the Anglo-Saxon Deben valley, Sutton Hoo and Rendlesham are often intertwining threads and this has further enhanced our knowledge and understanding of this landscape."
