John Frere was a Suffolk antiquary and notable for his excavations near Hoxne, where he unearthed flint tools, mainly handaxes and ancient animal bones, and described his findings to the Royal Society in a letter in 1797 'as weapons of war, fabricated by a people who had not the use of metals... The situation in which these weapons were found may tempt us to refer them to a very remote period indeed, even beyond that of the present world...'. His discovery, overlooked for decades until rediscovered by archaeologist Sir John Evans is now recognized as one of the most important middle Pleistocene sites in Europe.
