Some of the jewellery on
display at the exhibition
A collection of Anglo-Saxon artefacts
discovered in East Cleveland has won a top prize at an Arts Council-sponsored
cultural awards ceremony in Durham.
The treasure, found at a grave site in Loftus between 2005 and 2007, has been
displayed at Kirkleatham Museum, Redcar, since May 2011.
It includes a gold pendant as well as iron knives, pottery and other
objects.
The collection beat Newcastle's Great North Museum and the Beamish Museum to
claim the Renaissance Museum Award.
