Sutton Hoo Sutton Hoo in Suffolk is one of Britain’s most important archaeological sites, and was excavated as the burial ground of the Anglo Saxon kings of East Anglia. Now owned by the National Trust, the site has recently been reinterpreted, with the Trust appointing Van Heyningen and Haward Architects to design the project. Sutton Hoo Estate includes a substantial Edwardian house which required refurbishment, and 254 acres of grass heath and woodland on the Deben estuary, as well as the burial grounds themselves. The National Trust has created a new exhibition on the site, housing a full size reconstruction of the ship’s burial chamber, as well as informative display panels and listening centres.Visitor facilities also include a brand new restaurant and a shop.
