The Friends of Corhampton Church fourth annual Saxon school day (held on May 9th 2013) again brought smiles and hoots of enjoyment from the children of our villages. The pupils at Meinstoke infant school were joined by nine older Huscarls (royal guards) from Droxford junior school to learn and celebrate our Saxon heritage.
The children adopted Saxon names & identities; rang the bells at Corhampton church; enjoyed the Riverside Players’ puppet story of St Swithin and the broken eggs; and with the help of staff, community volunteers and our partner organisations, engaged in all aspects of Saxon life and in archaeology exploration.
Relive the day with this short video commissioned by The Friends and filmed by Lewys Brown, a graduate of the University of Winchester and the creative director of Stolen Images in Winchester.
