The famous burial mound at Sutton Hoo
Imogen Corrigan talks about the extraordinarily rich hoard uncovered at Sutton Hoo, Suffolk in 1939. Dating from the early 7th century, a man buried with hundreds of priceless objects inside a ship, inside a mound, remains a mystery. This presentation uses images of the treasures and Old English poetry to show Anglo-Saxon kingship and power.
Admission to the Zoom Talk is free to all

Dear Everyone,
Many thanks for signing up to watch the lecture on Thursday 18 March, starting
at 7.30pm
You should have received an invitation to join the lecture on your email, but
it is repeated at the end of this guide. I know that many of you will be familiar
with Webinar/Zoom lectures but, if you are new to it, please don’t be daunted!
It’s suspiciously straightforward.
The link/invitation will become active on the day of the lecture from 19:00
onwards, so nothing much will happen if you click on it before then. If you
are new to it, I suggest that you start signing in no later than 19:15 on the
day in case you do happen to come across problems. Please don’t sign in any
later than 19:25 or we will not be able to help you if you have problems.
Once you have clicked on the link, you will see a small box which says something
like ‘Open Zoom Meeting’: please click on that. If you are new to it, it is
possible that you will be to be asked to download Zoom (not always), so please
do that: it can take 4 or 5 minutes.
You will find that you are held in limbo at this point. There will be a notice
saying that I know that you are waiting, but you can’t proceed further until
I admit you, which I will do as soon as possible, but please be patient. Once
you have joined the meeting, you do not have to stay at your screen.
I have now given quite a few Zoom/remote lectures and was surprised to find
that the experience is not as remote as I feared. One of the most enjoyable
aspects of lecturing is connecting with the audience, but I am very much aware
that you are there, even if I can’t see all of you. When you have been admitted
and you are happy that you can hear and see the slides/screen, I will mute you.
This will allow you to shout abuse at the screen if you wish.
If you are using an iPad you may find that you have to tap the screen anywhere
for a row of small icons to appear either at the top or the bottom of your screen.
Tap one labelled ‘More’. If that doesn’t appear, tap the three dots and ‘More‘
should be revealed. Tap ‘More’ and then go to ‘Always Show Controls’ and make
sure that this is On. This can make things easier for you once you get into
the meeting.
The control bar images should show up automatically if you are using a main
computer or laptop.
It's up to you whether you want be seen or not. You can opt not to activate
your camera.
I will give the lecture using the PowerPoint slides I would have used if I was
doing it in a hall and then we can have Qs&As at the end
I will tell you how to ask questions at the end of the lecture.
You can leave the meeting at any time just by clicking the Leave Meeting button:
it does not make any impact on the lecture and no one is aware that you have
gone.
When we are finished, you can either click ‘Leave Meeting’ or wait for me to
click ‘End Meeting For All’ and that’s it. I apologise for the length of this.
Imogen
