Dear Mr. Cornwell, I was reading through the ‘Your Questions’ section and noticed a comment made by Bill Ghormley (April 2012) regarding Saxon excavation sites that are open to visitors and this may prove quite geeky of me but in case others have asked the same question I thought I’d mention an yearly excavation of a Saxon settlement in north Norfolk, that I helped excavate last year. It is not only open to visitors every day but is always looks for volunteers to help out. And curiously it is actually Called SHARP (the Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project). I am yet to read your Saxon series (I am currently re-devouring the Sharpe books for the third time) but I have been told by an archaeologist friend of mine that it is excellent and I cannot wait to read them!
