Basil Brown - Beyond Sutton Hoo

This is an article suggested by Colin.  The article comes from the Suffolk Heritage Explorer site which Colin recommends.  You may be aware that Basil Brown discovered Suttion Hoo on the eve of the Second World War but do you know about his life and other achievements?  Brought up on a farm, Basil would spend a lot of his time either digging or gazing at the stars.  He had a passion for geography  geology and astronomy and a thirst for knowledge.  His initial fame was publishing an atlas but then he spent more time on archaeology, but where was his first excavation?  To find the answers to these questions and more related information please select the following link:
