After lunch Sam Newton, the academic and TV presenter probably best known for his work on Saxon history and Sutton Hoo, came to see the latest finds - as he did in 2010. Today he re-emphasised how significant our site has become for the study of early Christian Saxon burials, and closely examined the child's grave where the bronze 'coin' was found.
At the end of the day Jezz Meredith took everyone for a site tour, reviewing the progress and outlook for each section, and threading together the whole project ready for the open day on Sunday. Weather permitting, all should be in place for a great experience for members of the public willing to walk from the car park!
