The Story Of Edith Pretty Of "The Dig"

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.
