Overview

Excerpt from Surrey Archaeological Collections, Vol. 29: Relating to the History and Antiquities of the Country The exact site was ma1ked on a plan by Mr. H. E. Malden, who saw the excavation in progress in company with the estate agent, M1. H. C. Bradshaw. With Mrs. Evelyn's permission, the discovery was communi cated to the Surrey Archaeological Society1 th1ough its secretary, Mr. Hilary Jenkinson, who brought it to the notice of Mr. Mill Stephenson and the present writer. The next move was made officially by Sir Hercules Read, as Keepe1 of British and Mediaeval Antiquities at the B1itish Museum; and a peisonal visit resulted 1n permission being given for the exhibition of the find to the Society. In the intelval Mr. Evelyn, app1ised of the event at the front, has generously offered the bronzes as a gift to the T1ustees of the British Museum, and this addition to an interesting series will be much appreciated in the new gallery to be devoted to the Early Iron Age in its widest sense, covering the periods named after Hallstatt and La Time, as well as the anglo-saxon and foreign Teutonic civilizations.
