Dr Sam Newton's Wuffings' Website - This site is about the early medieval kingdom of East Anglia and its Wuffing dynasty as well as aspects of the literature, legend, history, and archaeology of Anglo-Saxon England.
The site creator is Dr. Sam Newton who is an independent scholar. His biography page notes, "Since 1986 I have been working as a free lance tutor in Wuffing and Early Medieval Studies (Old English Literature, Language, History, & Archaeology), running courses in and around East Anglia. I have also conducted guided site-tours to Sutton Hoo, Rendlesham, and sites throughout eastern England (for a list click here). More recently I have been contributing to Radio and Television programmes."
A large part of the site is promoting Dr. Newton's lectures and his books. However, there are a few content pages of note including A Wuffing Studies' Reading List, The Old English Calendar, Wuffing and Related Places of Interest [sites where the Wuffings walked; and more], and Sutton Hoo: Burial-Ground of the Wuffings.
I must admit that I had not read about the Wuffings or the Kingdom of East Anglia before. I think I will be doing some more reading on this in the near future.
