Congratulations to Ad Gefrin Anglo-Saxon Museum & Whisky Distillery, @AdGefrin, Northumberland, for winning Gold in the #NewTourismBusinessOfTheYear category! #VEAwards2025
Making the jump to Bluesky… I’ll be closing this account down in due course. Will likely be much more active in posting over there….

Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxon. Site of the first cathedral of the West Saxons in AD 635; refounded as an Abbey in the C12; and finally becoming a Parish Church after the Reformation. C12 font; C13 tomb effigies; but its east end is where the visitor is truly rewarded.

“The thing that I enjoy most about @AdGefrin is that we’re telling the story of Yeavering as an Anglo Saxon palace and it’s one of the only excavated palaces of that era. It’s really significant in Northumbrian history and in the history of the British Isles and of western Europe. But most people didn’t know it existed." - @CF_Archaeology
Today is #WorldWhiskyDay and the North East is home to one of England’s fastest growing and most fascinating distilleries. @SimonTheQT gets the measure of Northumberland’s magnificent Ad Gefrin

Can’t believe this was the one morning I wasn’t listening live to @laurenlaverne on @BBC6Music and missed a conversation with @DrJaninaRamirez about the archaeology of Yeavering @AdGefrin... also nice that it was followed by @nadineshah’s new song
Brilliant night celebrating north east culture at #necultureawards. Thrilled that @AdGefrin and @TWAMmuseums won for our partnership around the Lindisfarne Gospels and the linked story to the royal court at Ad Gefrin !
Really pleased to have had the chance to work so closely with @TWAMmuseums and the whole team. xitter.cf/twammuseums/status/173…

In the early medieval period, Yeavering was the site of seasonal gatherings by the Northumbrian royal court. Now, new archaeological investigations are teasing out further details of the site. CA spoke to @CF_Archaeology and @Archaeogardener to learn more.
