Roman Pewter Hoard Found in Suffolk, England
A rare hoard of Roman pewter has been discovered in Euston, western Suffolk, in eastern England. The rare discovery includes Roman pewter plates, platters, bowls, and a cup.
The vessels’ remains were carefully stacked in a pit, suggesting they were buried as a single group, possibly for safekeeping or as an offering.
The hoard was discovered in Autumn 2022 by local metal detector user, Martin White, whilst taking part in an East of England Rally – an organized detecting event. They are now on display at the West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village and Museum, near Bury St Edmunds, until January 2024.
Tumblr media
Faye Minter, Suffolk County Council’s Archaeological Archives and Projects Manager, said: “This is a significant discovery. The larger plates and platters were used to allow food to be served communally and the octagonal bowls may have a Christian reference. Similar hoards are found across southern Britain, including from the nearby large Roman settlements at Icklingham and Hockwold.”
Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service facilitated the excavation of the hoard, which was carried out by Wardell Armstrong and Norfolk Museum Service conservators.
Tumblr media
There is evidence of heavy plow damage to the vessels, and advanced corrosion has fused several of them together. The main stack contained five plates and platters nested on top of each other.
All work was funded by the Euston Estate and East of England Rallies.
However, pewter is not a precious metal, this treasure of inestimable archaeological value does not qualify as official treasure and therefore belongs to the property owner.
Tumblr media
The hoard was discovered on the Euston Estate, making the Duke of Grafton the owner. He donated it to the West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village and Museum, which is located near Bury St Edmunds.
The Duke of Grafton from The Euston Estate, said: “We were happy to donate this hoard and make it available for the public to see. Everyone can then share in the joy of this historic Suffolk find.”

A11 War memorial

A11 War memorial by Tony Via Flickr: I know when I am approaching close to Thetford when I see this tall column at the side of the road. This 30 metre high memorial is situated next to the busy A11 road on a crowded duel carriageway. Many travellers on their way to the Norfolk Broads, the Norfolk coast, or to Norwich, are in too much of a hurry to stop and find out what it actually is. It is a memorial to those who served and died during World War One, the Great War - from three villages, Elveden, Eriswell, and Icklingham - located here, where the boundaries of the three parishes meet. The memorial was unveiled in November 1921.

Tips For First-time Buyers in Bury St Edmunds
Tumblr media
First-time Buyers in Bury St Edmunds
Buying a house if you are a first-time Buyers in Bury St Edmunds is a big decision, as is the case anywhere in the world. Unless you get the correct mortgage advice, things can get confusing, stressful and time consuming for you. It can become even more stressful later if you have acted without the sorts of full information that an adviser would provide.
Seek advice from a Mortgage Broker
At The Mortgage Bureau, our mortgage advisers will help remove the confusion, save you time and provide the correct first-time buyer mortgage advice.
Being an independent mortgage broker here in Bury St Edmunds, we are not tied to any lender or estate agent. When we have a full understanding of your current situation this allows us to match you with the most suitable lender.
Because we want to help our customers make the right decision as first-time buyers in Bury St Edmunds, here are some tips you should consider:
Responsibility: All lenders will check your financial situation so you should be in a position to show that you are responsible. For example, pay off your credit card bills and other debts on time to show that you can be responsible for the mortgage payments. That way you build up a healthy credit history that shows that you can be trusted.
Save Hard & Boost Your Savings: As a first-time buyer, you should be prepared for the deposit and the mortgage repayments. Work out how much cash you are left with at the end of each month. Instead of keeping it in your current account, it should go straight into a savings account. That way you will not be tempted to spend it. Similarly, you should look for ways to boost your monthly savings. Cut down on any expense that isn’t benefitting you or your family. The bigger deposit you have, the better choice of mortgage deals you will have.
Choose Your Mortgage WisBury St Edmunds: While our experts will help you get the right mortgage deal, you should still choose it wisBury St Edmunds. The most important factor to consider is the overall cost of the deal, not just the interest rate. Don’t get tricked with a low rate deal, as it may come with fees and other charges payable at a later date. We will point these out to you.
Compromise: Sometimes things don’t turn out the way we expect. It could be the location of your new property, or its size or its condition. Being able to compromise on any of these things could make the world of a difference for you, especially when it comes to buying your first home.
