Mrs. Edith Pretty was the landowner and philanthropist who spearheaded the excavations of Sutton Hoo and is portrayed in the movie, The Dig. It's a lovely film and, after watching it, I wanted to find out more about the real life story behind it.
The movie is based on a novel that describes true events. The author is John Preston who is the nephew of Peggy Piggott who was an archaeologist on the dig.
