Inspired by this public lecture by @helengittos.bsky.social & the Hild novels of @nicolaz.bsky.social, Y8s have been immersing themselves for project week in 7th c. Northumbrian material culture & history
Each group made a dress, necklace & broach that Hild could have worn & illuminated manuscripts

This morning was at a wonderful lecture in Durham by @helengittos.bsky.social on Anglo-Saxon women, the conversion to Christianity and material culture
Some amazing new archaeology and, as one audience member said, a paradigm shift in terms of interpretation of 6-7th centuries. Really engaging
