In case you missed it, here are some of the news items we have shared over the past few weeks:
Colin Gorrie of the Ancient Languages Institute has released a new immersive learning book for Old English called Osweald Bēra (Oswald Bear). Early reviews are very promising and if grammar tables are not for you, then this style of learning Old English may well suit you.
In Littlehampton an Anglo-Saxon gold artefact which was found by a metal detectorist has gone on display.
The small gold plate, which is believed to have been a decoration on a sword, is on show at Littlehampton Museum.
Experts believe the item, which was found near Climping, dates from about 570 to 630 AD.
