The Longshed

The Longshed in Woodbridge, Suffolk, is dedicated to the reconstruction of the 7th-century Sutton Hoo burial ship, a significant archaeological find that offers a glimpse into Anglo-Saxon maritime heritage. This community-driven project aims to resurrect the ship using traditional tools and authentic materials, while engaging volunteers to explore the mysteries surrounding its historical use and construction.

In addition to the ship restoration, The Longshed serves as a centre for research, learning, and the promotion of historical maritime culture in the UK. The initiative not only focuses on the Sutton Hoo ship but also aspires to reconstruct other historical vessels, fostering a deeper connection between the past and present for visitors and the community alike.
