Sutton Hoo



We visited Sutton Hoo. Very strange because this and the BM exhibition are the opposite of complementary - they each need each other.

Sutton Hoo is an exhibition (book on the wall type) without a focus on real objects, while the BM Sutton Hoo exhibitions could do with some of the explanation you get at Sutton Hoo.

I was disappointed as some how the NT has managed to make it into a unmememorable visit - all too tame. The video was shocking as it had some very interesting quotes from Anglo saxon that made me think - why have I not read these before - they are so good! But they were unattributed made up modern quotes in the style of Beowulf.

Very misleading and the National Trust should be ashamed of passing off pastiche as reality.
