EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the foreman of the jury is seen deep in conversation with the coroner in the quaint Sutton village hall. The scene unfolds in the late 1930s, where a Coroner's Court was held to determine the ownership of a remarkable discovery - the Sutton Hoo treasure. Unearthed on the land of Mrs Edith Mary Pretty in Sutton, near Woodbridge in Suffolk, England, the Sutton Hoo ship burial is considered one of the most significant archaeological finds in British history. Dated back to the late 7th century AD, the site contained an Anglo-Saxon ship burial with a wealth of artifacts, including a magnificent helmet, shield, sword, and various other items of gold, silver, and garnet. The Coroner's Court was convened to decide whether the treasure should become the property of the State or be granted to Mrs Pretty, who had discovered it on her land. After a meticulous examination of the evidence and a two and a half hour deliberation, the jury reached a verdict. The photograph captures this pivotal moment in history as the foreman of the jury shares the decision with the coroner, marking a turning point in the ownership of this priceless archaeological find. The 1930s were an era of significant change in Britain, and this event represents a fascinating intersection of law, archaeology, and local history. The Sutton Hoo treasure is now housed in the British Museum, where it continues to captivate visitors and scholars alike. This photograph is a testament to the intrigue and importance of this remarkable discovery and the legal proceedings that followed.
