Early medieval monasteries in Northumbria - the big picture! Dr David Petts, Dept of Archaeology, Durham University
Lindisfarne, Hartlepool, Jarrow, Monkwearmouth - the early medieval kingdom of Northumbria is widely known for its many monasteries. These were centres of devotion and worship, but also places of agricultural production, craft, industry and exchange. In this lecture Dr David Petts (Dept of Archaeology, Durham University) takes a broad overview of the early monasteries of Central Britain, drawing on archaeological and textual sources to present a picture of monastic life in Northumbria between the 7th and 10th centuries AD
