Sutton silver update

Another excellent meeting in the Pavilion last night, hosted by Sutton Conservation Society – this time about the plans for Ely Museum to host the Silver disc brooch of Aedwen in summer next year. The brooch, discovered in Sutton during ploughing in 1694, is held in the British Museum in London.

Local resident Liz Hawkins introduced the meeting, and the curator and staff of Ely Museum were on hand to talk about the current plans for the visit of the brooch. Unfortunately the brooch won’t be able to come to Sutton – it will have to stay in the museum in Ely for security reasons – but the staff are keen for village residents of all ages to be involved and to come up with ideas for projects, events and activities to take place alongside the visit.

The brooch will be in Ely for several months starting in July 2015.
