Many thanks to everyone who stopped by to play, chat or run games at Sutton Hoo National Trust at the weekend. Brilliant fun and great to see so many old and new friends, but time to sit down in a dark room for a few days! #miniatures #wargaming #suttonhoo #nerdlings #anglosaxonhistory

This looks great! A free exhibition at Sherborne Abbey and 3 excellent free lectures in early June.

Please do re-post - especially if you live in the south-west.
Poster with landscape advertising an exhibition at Sherborne Abbey in June on the 'Rediscovery' of King Aethelberht's coffin in 1925. Includes 3 lectures; 1 on the Anglo-Saxon cathedral in Sherborne, another on Aethelberht, Aethelbald and Aelfred, kings of Wessex in the C9th and one on the 'rediscovery' of the royal Anglo-Saxon coffins in the following centuries.

Gloriously sunny day at Sutton Hoo running the Battle of the River Idle 616 as part of the Wargaming the Age of the Anglo-Saxons event. Great response from site visitors with 11 games played (East Anglia 8, Northumbria 3). #wargaming #suttonhoo #mogsymakes #nationaltrust #anglosaxonhistory

On this day in 1066 the Battle of Hastings was fought (you know, the one King and Conqueror tried to act out).

From warrior kings to noblewomen, garnets signified power and prestige, their fiery glow illuminating the rich cultural tapestry of early medieval England. #AngloSaxonHistory #MedievalCraftsmanship
A circular Anglo-Saxon gold pendant with intricate detailing. The pendant features a raised central setting, now damaged, with traces of a red gemstone or glass at its core. Surrounding this are eight triangular segments radiating outward, each decorated with fine gold beading and small ring-and-dot patterns. The outer edge is framed by a simple raised border. A loop at the top suggests it was once worn as a necklace. The craftsmanship and materials indicate it was likely a high-status item, possibly used for religious or ceremonial purposes.

Frith Stools.
This is the Frith Stool in Hexham Abbey. Thought to have been made on the orders of St Wilfrid, the stool dates to the 7th century and is carved from a single piece of sandstone.

The Forgotten Chronicle: Athelstan and the Birth of England
York was the final great barrier between Athelstan and a realm united beneath one crown. In 927, the city fell. Entering its gates was only the beginning. The new king still faced uncertain loyalties, northern rivals and the struggle to turn conquest into a kingdom capable of enduring. Athelstan and the Birth of England follows the ruler who gathered generations of survival, recovery and reconquest into the first English kingdom. Read the full Chronicle free. #Athelstan #AngloSaxonHistory #York927 #BritishHistory #MedievalHistory #TheForgottenChronicle
