West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village is set in
125 acres. Here in the 1960s and 1970s a
series of archaeological digs revealed the
remains of a substantial settlement of over
seventy houses of which eight have been
reconstructed.
The earliest remains go back as far as 420
B.C., coinciding with the period during
which the Roman legions withdrew from
Britain, leaving it open to the Anglo-Saxon
invasions.
The village was settled until 650 AD, the age
of Beowulf, when the poem was composed
and recited by the bards. Our host, Lance
Alexander, is the acknowledged expert in
this field.
- Presented by experienced West Stow ranger,
Lance Alexander, an authority in Anglo-Saxon
History.
- West Stow is second to none as a resource for
understanding the Anglo-Saxons.
- The Anglo-Saxons lived in one of the most
interesting times in history, yet there are very
little resources available on DVD.
- Artsmagic’s ‘A Celtic Fort in the Iron Age’ has
attracted a lot of attention, and this program
promises the same.
