West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village

One of England's great archaeological sites, visit a stunning recreation of an Anglo-Saxon village

Home » Museums » West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village

One of England’s great archaeological sites, West Stow has extensive indoor galleries and a stunning recreation of an Anglo-Saxon village surrounded by 125 acres of unspoilt countryside.

West Stow is the site of an early Anglo-Saxon village, occupied from AD 420-650, over 400 years before the Norman Conquest.

In 1976 the West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village Trust was formally established to manage the site, at that stage there were three reconstructed houses within the village. West Suffolk’s Heritage Team currently manages the day-to-day running of the reconstructed Anglo-Saxon village on behalf of the trust

Explore the reconstructed houses, smell the wood smoke, absorb the unique atmosphere and imagine living in early Anglo-Saxon times. Don’t miss the Anglo-Saxon Museum where you can see hundreds of fascinating archaeological  objects which tell the story of this settlement and the people who lived here.

For additional information about admission, opening hours, access, facilities and learning opportunities, please visit the museum website.
