War & Military
The Staffordshire Hoard is the greatest Anglo-Saxon golden treasure hoard found in the world…
One of the fantastic things about my job is that I can work with truly exceptional artefacts. I have twice been involved with projects displaying the enigmatic Staffardshire Hoard, and it was a real treat learning more about the history surrounding this mysterious collection of gold.
