Through these pages you can explore the look of the land in the Early Saxon period, pausing to look at crops and livestock and the wildlife. There are opportunities to meet the pagan people at work and discover their beliefs and values, to be reassured by the familiar and startled by differences. The book covers the period from the departure of the Roman legions to the evangelising of St. Augustine s mission, concentrating upon Surrey in particular but offering a view of the landscape over all the Saxons counties. It takes into account the latest archaeological proposals that this period did not begin with violent conquest, as was believed previously, but with the assimilation of new ideas and developments. Out of this would evolve the first Saxon kingdoms, the first law codes and the use of a language that you are reading now. Ref D 1 Size: 128pp.
