CMSM has been proud to take part in a new series on Sky History, Battle Treasures with our patron Bruce Crompton, and SAS hero Jason Fox.
Battle Treasures tells the stories behind some of the rarest and most remarkable military artefacts ever discovered. Hosted by Jason Fox and Bruce Crompton, each episode explores three extraordinary items – revealing their provenance, the battlefield stories behind them, and little-known facts to bring each object to life. Bruce brings his encyclopaedic knowledge to each item while Jason draws on his experience as one of Britain’s most elite soldiers to offer vivid, first-hand context. The series also delivers world firsts, revealing artefacts never seen by the public.
This week’s episode featured our 10th Century Maldon Sword, found locally and believed to be a relic from the famous Battle of Maldon in 991.

With more episodes to come some of our other items will be featured and we are so excited to have been part of the program.
