⭐ Edith Pretty of Sutton Hoo ⭐ Real Life True Story of Mrs. Pretty Vs Netflix Movie,The Dig

Mrs. Edith Pretty was the landowner and philanthropist who spearheaded the excavations of Sutton Hoo. She is portrayed in the movie, The Dig, by Carey Mulligan and while the film covers only a brief period of her life, the true story of Edith Pretty is full of drama.

The movie, The Dig, is not a biography of Edith Pretty by any means. The movie focuses on a specific time period in the 1930's when Mrs. Pretty commissioned the excavation of the mounds on her property called Sutton Hoo in Suffolk, England. This video is a mini documentary of the true story (minus the cousin who was not real to the story).

Sutton Hoo is famous as one of the greatest archaeological finds in history and especially so for Britain. It is thought that the buried ship and it's treasures belonged to an Anglo-Saxon chieftain who lived 1500 years ago named Raedwald, King of East Anglia.

Even before Mrs.Pretty commissioned the dig, locals always knew that there was something in those mounds. Over the centuries, occasional artifacts were found by treasure hunters, but none of them came close to finding the real treasure trove of gold and silver artifacts buried below the earth. It wasn’t until the late 1930s that a concerted effort was made to excavate by Edith Pretty who employed a local amateur archaeologist called Basil Brown to see what he can find.

As we see in the movie, The Dig, the British Museum eventually took over the running of the dig from Basil Brown after the initial efforts, and today, thanks to the generosity of and donation by Mrs. Pretty, most of the treasures reside at the British Museum along with an exhibit to the effort which was recently built by the National Trust, UK.

Edith Pretty's life experiences led her to that moment in time that the movie, The Dig, covers. She was well-traveled and well-educated thanks to the wealth of her family. Her life covers a time of change from the late Victoria/Edwardian era of her youth to the 1930's and 40's when women were able to begin to take a larger role in science.

In fact the movie also includes the true story participation in the dig of one of the pioneering women in archeology, Peggy Preston (aka Margaret Guido, aka Peggy Piggott). while the cousin, photographer Rory Lomax in not true fact.
