Memorial - "Near this place lieth the body of William Wilkes who departed this life May 12th 1803 aged 42 years
In perfect health I went from home, not thinking that my glass was run. The earth is north, Heaven is all; Death has not hurt me by my fall.
Dear friends pray weep for me no more, I am not lost but gone before
All flowers grow, but fade away, more sudden death does life decay" -Church of St Thomas A Beckett, Sutton Under Brailes Warwickshire
This was an amazing sky, with lowering black clouds which suddenly began to roll back to leave much lighter ones behind. Sutton Bank is a great spot for gliding.
When I was younger and we lived in this area, I went here a lot. Maybe its a different entrance, but there used to be a miniature fairground here all the time.

Replica Treasure
Sutton Hoo is the site of two early medieval cemeteries dating from the 6th to 7th centuries near Woodbridge, in Suffolk, England. Archaeologists have been excavating the area since 1938. One cemetery had an undisturbed ship burial with a wealth of Anglo-Saxon artefacts. Most of these objects are now held by the British Museum. Scholars believe Rædwald of East Anglia is the most likely person to have been buried in the ship. The site is important in establishing the history of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of East Anglia as well as illuminating the early Anglo-Saxon period which lacked historical documentation.
