047 Sutton Hoo helmet 8 Jun 2010

Tue, 8 Jun 10

Helmet found in the grave of an Anglo-Saxon warrior¹ king. Neil McGregor, Director of the British Museum, travels to East Anglia to describe the sensational² burial discovery that has been hailed as a "British Tutankhamen". He looks at the helmet, the world it inhabited and the imagination it has inspired. The poet Seamus Heaney reflects on it in the context of the great Anglo-Saxon epic³ poem, Beowulf, and archaeologist Angus Wainwright describes the discovery of the great grave ship where the helmet was found.
