Abstract
This article presents an overview of recent fieldwork by the Institute of Archaeology at St Andrew’s Church and the Old Rectory, Norton, Suffolk. The investigations identified the foundations of a previously unrecorded Anglo-Saxon church tower, which probably forms part of a tenth or eleventh-century elite residence associated with Eadgifu the Fair, wife of Harold Godwinsson. Trace evidence relating to a probable Roman villa was also recorded on the site, together with a significant quantity of finds and environmental remains associated with the documented medieval and later church and rectory sites. The excavations have also provided an important venue for undergraduate fieldwork training and public engagement, and will continue into 2025.
