I have been meaning to go here for ages - and still have not made it. There are nice exhibits in the British Museum.

@CharlieMartinAgnew did u know that in vendel uppsala sweden they found so simulare artefacts that they belive that the two places have had some kind of connection?

[CharlieMartinAgnew]

@sejdaren I was not aware of this, but will check it out and add it to my lectures. Thanks for the information.

It was the professional (non-Suffolk) archaeologists who originally spread the mispronunciation of the place they were excavating - local man Basil knew that it is pronounced Hoe, not Who.

Wow. Now that is something.

Thanks for posting Dark Age.Fascinating stuff indeed. I was interested to hear about Basil Brown and his trials with the archaeological establishment.
