In 2003 archaeologists discovered an intact princely burial between
busy Priory Crescent and the railway line near Priory Park in
Prittlewell. A find of international significance, this is the
richest and most important Anglo-Saxon burial found since the 1939
discovery of the great ship burial at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk. The
lavishly furnished wooden chamber beneath a mound contained the
coffin of a high-status man, evidently a Christian, who died at the
end of the 6th century AD. The results of years of study of the
excavated evidence are described and illustrated here to provide an
account of the burial and the grave goods, and the information they
give us about the East Saxon kingdom, where the man lived, and its
contacts with Kent, Francia and the Christian Mediterranean.
