Decision Made
That the Hoard be donated to the Wickham Market Archive Centre, which will ensure that it is kept in the district, with a caveat that if the organisation ceases, it is then donated to the County Archaeological Service.
Reason for Decision
1. The Council has no experience or facilities for displaying the collection to the public.
2. Donating to either the Wickham Market Archive Centre negates the requirement for regular valuation and insurance by the Council and this will allow the items to have more opportunities for public display and use in research projects.
3. Wickham Market Parish Council are in agreement that the Hoard should be donated to the Wickham Market Archive Centre.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected
1. Retain hoard on long-term loan with the County Archaeological Service and Council officers arrange for physical valuations to take place every three years.
2. Donate the hoard to the County Archaeological Service.
3. Cease the loan to the County Archaeological Service and arrange for secure storage at East Suffolk House.
