Anglo-Saxon is order of the day for Wellington pupils

11:00am Monday 13th February 2012 in News By Newsdesk

PUPILS at Wellington Junior School had a taste of Anglo-Saxon history during a visit to Escot Park.

The children experienced what life would have been like in a recreated Anglo-Saxon village, taking the opportunity to try pole lathing, creating spear heads and using bellows to keep the furnace hot.

They also checked out a Saxon house and tried on a Saxon delicacy – squirrel.
