We have been investigating life in Anglo-Saxon times to decide whether we would rather have lived then or nowadays. We used books, the internet and photos of artefacts to find out about food, work, leisure, clothes and homes in Anglo-Saxon Britain. Many of us liked the idea of telling stories (sagas) around a fire and we also enjoyed trying to solve Saxon riddles. We weren’t so sure about the idea of having to work from a young age and the lack of electricity (and X-Boxes!!). What do you think?
