After exiting the Birmingham History Galleries from the 1945 to Present Day section, I was back in the regular galleries. Briefly ended up in a gallery now housing the Staffordshire Hoard. Currently photography is not allowed in here, so this is all I got before being told it isn't allowed. Cardboard cut out of a Anglo-Saxon warrior and a replica helmet. I've seen the hoard before, but never bothered those times to take my camera out. But it wasn't in here earlier in the year. Think they had that Leonardo Da Vinci sketches thing in here back then. I didn't mean to go in here. Was looking for a way out (went around in a circle and ended up leaving via Great Charles Street Queensway again).

It has been estimated that only about 8 per cent of the land was under Anglo-Saxon control by 1087. Many Anglo-Saxon nobles fled to Scotland, Ireland, and Scandinavia. The Byzantine Empire became a popular destination for many Anglo-Saxon soldiers, as the Byzantines were in need of mercenaries. The Anglo-Saxons became the predominant element in the elite Varangian Guard, hitherto a largely Scandinavian unit, from which the emperor's bodyguard was drawn and continued to serve the empire until the early 15th century. However, the population of England at home remained largely Anglo-Saxon; for them, little changed immediately except that their Anglo-Saxon lord was replaced by a Norman lord.

Unlike the Anglo Saxon raiders the Vikings were just here for the plunder rape and pillage, they were not fighting Christianity, which had been the case in the earlier 5th and 6th century invasions.

Two of these are parts of a free-armed stone crucifix and the others are of the shaft and head of stone cross ornamented with leaves encircling a centre boss. These constitute the most ancient surviving workmanship of a man in Great Ayton. Exhibiting strap-interlacing work, they are developed Anglo-Saxon sculpture and are assigned to the late 8th century. They are thus dated before the Danish Invasion, which, beginning in 787, brought disaster upon the church.

The findings of Dr. West contributed to much of the knowledge that is now known about this area. The layout of the area tells us much about the way of life in this time period. This area is set up with a large hall in the middle of the village and other houses and structures surrounding the area. This suggests that this was a very tight-knit community, with the inhabitants using the large hall for events such as feasts and story-telling. During the excavation 69 houses, 7 halls and 7 other structures were found. This community lived with their extended families in their houses, with each house usually containing around 10 family members. The people of this area still traded with their homeland, which is evidenced by the glass in the necklaces and other metals that were found at the site, but not produced locally. The Anglo-Saxon community that was found here was not the first to settle in the area. The remains of circular huts with ditched enclosures suggest occupation by Iron Age farmers. There were also tools found that suggest that Mesolithic warriors had hunted in this area, and burial grounds and cultivation which suggest settlement of a Neolithic group. A pagan Anglo-Saxon burial ground was also excavated. The archaeologists revealed that the village has moved the mile or so east to its current location following Christianisation.

Initially, it was located at the side of a cart track near Eyam. It is Grade I listed and a Scheduled Ancient Monument..It is believed that the cross originally lay on a moor outside the village and was later moved to the churchyard. It is covered in complex carvings and is almost complete, but is missing a section of the shaft. A replica of the Eyam Cross, but with the missing part intact, forms the War Memorial at Blundells School in Tiverton in Devon.

It is thought that it would have originally been in an earlier church, which was on the same site as the current building. The stone was rediscovered, centuries after been carved, and was found in a nearby ditch. It was subsequently used as a mantelpiece and a door lintel, before finding its way back to the church. The slab has been attributed to that of Saint Ragenor, an Anglo-Saxon prince who was slain by the Vikings in 870. His grave had been forgotten until the mid-eleventh century, when visions of an elderly man drew a priest of Edward the Confessor to the burial site. Many miracles were subsequently wrought at the church and the King had a great shrine decorated with gold and silver and precious stones erected for him there. Sadly, nothing of the great shrine survives, but one can imagine how impressive it must have been. Although the grave slab has been cut down by 3cm on one side, the carving is remarkably intact and it is one of the earliest carved stones in Northampton."

For Jack, as his father is a farmer, it's possible he was a ceorl (churl), also known as a free peasant. He very likely worked for the local freeman (land owner) or even a powerful Thane (a rich land owner). These thumbnails show some ideas of peasant clothing, and the early Jack (in the beginning of the story) will be dressed in a similar manner.

The shields were fairly basic (made from wood and enforced with metal rims), but I really like the look of them! I envisage Jack obtaining one during the story, and perhaps later it will get upgraded with a family crest or emblem.

This was in the period known as the "Dark Ages" (410 AD to 1066 AD). For anyone interested in history, this was the time of the Anglo-Saxons, and as such, the weapons and clothing need to match that of those times. Here are some examples of knives and axes.

Daniel and Christopher Healey, the finders, reported the brooch and it was recorded by the Potable Antiquities Scheme. They then had the brooch valued. Such a beautiful, rare and important find was worth more than the museum had available but the Healey brothers waited patiently while the museum applied for grants, eventually securing funding from the V&A/MLA Purchase Grant Fund and The Headley Trust. Having spent 1400 years in the ground the brooch then needed some tender loving care. It was scientifically cleaned and stabilised ready for display. The brooch is now on display at Bassetlaw Museum.

Sorry for poor quality, this is scanned from a microfiche accompanying the original Council for British Archaeology Report 82, published 1992. The cemetery, dated to the sixth and possibly early 7th centuries, was discovered by children who had hung a swing from a tree on the edge of a hollow way (old traditional track). The constant rubbing of feet from children using the swing gradually wore away the soil and unearthed a skull, which of course the children immediately took home as a souvenir. The skull and some associated grave goods were recovered by the police and determined as ancient. The consequent excavation revealed a cemetery of 117 inhumation graves (burials) and three urn graves (burial of ashes in pots). A mixture of supine (Anglo Saxon style) and crouched (native British style) burials, appeared to show the Angles and Britons of the area were living and dying together literally side-by-side.

Many thanks to ‘flambard’ for identifying the motif of this badge. Thanks for reading. Stuart.

Some 35 examples of crystal balls are known from early Anglo-Saxon graves, of which only eight are found in cemeteries outside Kent. The origin of the crystal used is unknown, but, unlike crystal beads, the size of crystal required to fashion a ball greatly restricts the number of possible sources. It can be said with some certainty that there could be no English source; possible areas of origin include Scotland, Germany and Switzerland. The crystals themselves are usually flawed and vary in colour from dark smoky crystals to bright clear examples. They are normally mounted in gold, silver, or copper-alloy bands which are wrapped around the crystal and secured at the top by a cylindrical collar and pin with a suspension ring. Crystal balls are not restricted to Anglo-Saxon contexts, with perhaps the best-known continental example being the unmounted crystal ball found in Childeric's tomb, and there are at least 50 crystal balls known from Germany, France, Italy, Hungary, Belgium, Holland and Austria. Many crystal balls were poor copies of more accomplished pieces, a bit like fake Fendi handbags today. It is thought that the balls were either hung from the belt or suspended around the neck. replica made by Daegrad of Sheffield, England.

Tags: gold   treasure   enamel   anglosaxon   treasuretrove   pas:treasure=2006t242    An Anglo-Saxon roundel. Date, 10th – 11th century AD. This gold and enamel roundel is probably from Hampshire. It was found by Mr K Hollyfield while metaldetecting between 1980 and the early 1990s, and reported Treasure by his son. Though it was not declared Treasure - because it was found before the commencement of the Treasure Act 1996 - the object was such a rarity that it has been purchased by the British Museum. This object shows the Hand of God descending in a gesture of blessing or divine acknowledgement. The setting almost certainly derived from a larger object of some kind and in terms of design shows similarities to the famous ‘Alfred Jewel’. 2006 T242 (Cat.286) Recent Updated: 4 years ago - Created by portableantiquities - View Copyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - portableantiquities A beautiful Anglo-Saxon mount.

Colchester was, of course, a Roman town (Camulodunum), dating from very soon after the invasion of A. D. 43. Before that there had been an Iron Age settlement, the capital of Cunobelinus, who died about A. D. 40. Many of the bricks in this tower are re-used Roman bricks quarried from buildings which, I suppose, must have been ruinous in Anglo-Saxon times. These must be the flattish, rather tile-like ones used around the door and at the corners. There are many of them to be seen in old walls around the town. The remainder of the tower is mostly flint, but with a fair admixture of other stones. The church has not been used since 1953.

Dates from the latter half of the 10th century. Possibly the largest anglo-saxon church in England. The saxon windows high in the wall are for security at a time when the church was the only building in the vicinity built from stone and was therefore used as a stronghold in times of danger. The north (or devil's) doorway was blocked up (probably for practical reasons of keeping out the cold). It is tall enough for a man on horseback to ride through and is directly opposite a similar door in the south wall.
