About Woodbridge
Woodbridge, which is a small town in Suffolk, a historically picturesque city in England, is located on the banks of the River Deben. The foundation of the town dates back to 1100 years ago in history and it is famous for its historical and archaeological site called Satton Hoo located in the east of the River Deben. Satton Hoo, the most famous Anglo-Saxon city in England in the past, is home to the ancient settlement as well as the 80-meter 'Burial Ship'. When it was first discovered in 1939, the Burial Ship contained the coffin of Redwald, the King of Eastern Anglia and one of the strongest kings of England in the seventh century, and the treasures belonging to him. The archaeological findings that were unearthed at the end of the excavations in Satton Hoo are today exhibited at the British Museum and the Woodbridge Museum.
