Image description

Mrs Edith Pretty, the owner of Sutton Hoo estate, standing on the veranda of Tranmer House (formerly Sutton Hoo House). It was through her enquiring spirit that she arranged a dig of the burial mounds on the estate in 1938 & 1939 that lead to the discovery of the famous ship burial. It was also through her generosity that the nation acquired the Sutton Hoo treasure, as she donated this to the British Museum.
