St Peter’s church Wootton Wawen
It’s one of the oldest structures in the Midlands. Saxon origins. The base of the tower is used as a sanctuary. Modern stained glass in the north window. #ChurchCrawling #Saxons

With a bit of rounding, comes out to about 30% or slightly above, which I think is about right.
I think #Vikingancestry (I think not considering ones of #British, #Irish or #AngloSaxon origin, some #Angles and #Saxons will have been Viking. I think it could well account for 15% of my #autosomalDNA.

Was Æthelstan, England’s first king, and does he deserve more than a footnote in history? Because when we think of the great names of English history, his rarely makes the cut. flip.it/37g1RD #history #englishhistory #saxons #historian #blogger #Æthelstan #davidwoodman #flipboardusergroup

King and Conqueror : I dont know how you can be commissioned to write a historical drama and not care about history? Like 80% of this is just bad middle school textbook stuff. It's a shame because the 20% that is good is of a very high standard.

Selfie of yours truly in the woods
Just putting this out there. It is increasingly apparent to me that this old Germanic lore — what is commonly called Norse paganism — is centred on a specific people and geographic region. #paganism #germanicpaganism #unpopularopinion #midgard #germany #europe #Saxons #spirituality #selfie #heathen

One of the rivets from the Sutton Hoo ship displayed at the site. Due to the acidity of the soil, the ship used in the 7thC burial had entirely vanished, with its outline marked by rivets and the outline in the soil #suttonhoo #anglosaxon #saxons #saxon #shipburial

Image of Edmund Ironside from a medieval Royal Genealogical manuscript.
On This Day, 25th June 1016, a few miles west of Malmesbury, the Battle of Sherston began (lasting into 26th June). Edmund Ironside defeated a combined force of Danish and Saxon supporters of Cnut.

Fabulous few days teaching #archaeology about #Vikings and #Saxons with the kids at Easter Camp. Learning about history through play. A range of hands on activities rather than book based education. #learningthroughplay

In middle distance, a long, flattish hill, ringed by trees.
Camelot.
Well, Cadbury 'Castle' has been associated with Arthurian legend since Tudor times (possibly because of the nearby River Camel).
But it was an iron-age hillfort, refortified in the 6thC - so it's Artherish.
