Anglo Saxons primary resource
Explore the secrets that artifacts reveal about the anglo saxons.
This primary resource shows how exploring artifacts can reveal secrets about the Anglo Saxons and their lifestyle. Discover why and where Anglo Saxon people buried treasure and what these archaeological finds can tell us. What patterns and designs were used on Anglo Saxon jewellery? How was their treasure uncovered?
Pupils will learn about when and where the Anglo Saxons lived and the different items they made in our National Geographic Kids’ Anglo Saxon primary resource sheet.
The teaching resource can be used in study group tasks about evaluating evidence, as a printed handout for each pupil to identify and highlight key facts, or for display on the interactive whiteboard for whole class tasks.
Activity: Ask children to draw the artifacts they can see on the page, or cut them out from their handout, and try to explain how they were made. What materials were used? How have they been put together? Pupils could use craft materials to design their own piece of Anglo Saxon jewellery or weaponry, or write a newspaper report about Terry Herbert’s discovery.

The Saxons were a group of people who came to Britain from what is now Germany. Those who ended up settling in Britain were also known as Anglo-Saxons.
Life in Saxon Britain
Saxon houses were, unlike the native Brits, rectangular. Saxon houses were made of wood and were usually built with several posts, but they would sometimes make beams and build on top of them. Pad stones were used to make stable platforms.
In early Saxon times, there were also small sunken huts. At first, people thought that they were just homes but archaeologists (people who find ancient objects and dig them up) have found things that mean these huts were probably used as workshops or for storage.
What jobs you could do in Anglo-Saxon society depended on whether you were a man or woman. Women usually did one, or a few of, these jobs:
- weaving (Saxons made clothes on looms, using wool or linen)
- making flour and butter
- craftwork (such as making shoes)
- making objects such as combs from bones
If you were a man, you would be doing one, or a few of, these jobs:
- woodworker (making things such as chairs from wood)
- metalworker (making tools such as swords and knives)
- warriors, who fought against different tribes
There was a variety of Saxon food, which they loved to eat at big feasts. Their diet included:
- wild boar (a pig with horns)

Anglo-Saxon: Facts About Their Houses and Homes
The Anglo-Saxons arrived in Britain from the mid 5th century onwards. They came from the countries of what is now known as Scandinavia in northern Europe.
Here are some facts about Anglo-Saxon houses and homes.
- The size of Anglo-Saxon homes varied a lot, from about 3 x 3.5 metres, to larger homes of up to 10 x 10 metres. The largest house in a village was always the chief’s hall.
- Anglo-Saxon houses were nearly always built of wood and had thatched roofs. The remains of some houses have been found, allowing us to understand what they looked like.
- Most houses had only one room, which was used for everything including sleeping, eating, cooking and entertaining. Oxen were often kept at one end of the room.
- There was no glass in the windows, which were simply narrow slits which let in the rain and wind along with the light. To get as much light and heat as possible, houses were built facing the sun.
- The Saxons liked to live in small settlements in the countryside. However, some of them built houses inside the walled Roman towns and cities, as they would offer good defence.
- The Anglo-Saxons also used tents a lot, especially for armies who were on the move. They probably used them as churches and to keep animals in, as well as for sleeping.
- Although almost all furniture in Anglo-Saxon houses was made of wood, the Saxons had folding iron chairs. Typical furniture included chests, benches, a table and bed, and tapestries on the wall for warmth.
- Chairs were not used very often, and most people sat on the floor or on benches to eat their meals. The table was covered with a table cloth during meal times.
- Wooden fences were built around villages, for protection from wild boars and wolves. Many villages were built near the sea or a river

| Who were the Anglo-Saxons? The Angle, Saxon, and Jute are known as the Anglo-Saxons. The Angles and the Saxon tribes were the largest of the three attacking tribes and so we often know them as Anglo-Saxons. They shared the same language but were each ruled by different strong warriors. Anglo-Saxons The Anglo-Saxons were warrior-farmers and came from north-western Europe. They began to invade Britain while the were still in control. The Anglo-Saxons were tall, fair-haired men, armed with swords and spears and round shields.
They loved fighting and were very fierce.
Their skills included hunting, farming, textile (cloth) production and leather working. We know about the Anglo-Saxons because of things we have found giving us quite detailed information about their lives. Anglo-Saxons were often buried with their possessions. The objects we have found in graves have provided us with evidence of the different jobs done by men and women and the skills they had. Knives and spears are often found in Anglo-Saxon men's graves. This suggests they were involved in hunting, fighting and farming. Women's graves often include tools used for sewing and weaving, which suggests they were involved in making clothes (textile production). What did the Anglo-Saxons do for entertainment (leisure)? The Anglo-Saxons enjoyed horse racing, hunting, feasting and music-making. They played dice and board games such as draughts and chess. Entertainment during feasts included listening to a harp being played and juggling balls and knives. Children played with balls, hoops and whipping tops (spinning tops). They also played with carved wooden toys such as horses and small wooden boats.
