Yeavering Palace
As part of the Past Pefect project for Durham and Northumberland Councils, we were asked to produce several historical sites, one of which is Yeavering Palace.
Yeavering, in north Northumberland, is probably one of the most important Anglo-Saxon sites in the country. Northumbria was one of four main Anglo-Saxon kingdoms during the 7th century, and Yeavering is the best-known example of a royal centre of the kings of Northumbria. Not only is it renowned for its secular importance during the reign of King Edwin, but it was here that Christianity first found a foothold in the north; events that were recorded by the Venerable Bede in his Ecclesiastical History of the English People.
The animation we produced for the project was based on Bede's work, following a sparrow flight through the site and into the palace.
