Survival in the year 1070

Did you know that it is 948 years this month since the Harrying of the North, when Norman soldiers ravaged Yorkshire and Durham in order to crush an English rebellion against Norman rule?

Can you imagine what it was like to have your home and community destroyed around you in the depths of winter?

How would you cope if you were left with no food and no shelter, and then have to walk ten, twenty, fifty or even more miles to find sanctuary?

All this at a time when there were no aid agencies and no means of communicating your plight.

Discover how two young people, Hravn and Ealdgith, survived as refugees in the North of England in the bitter winter of the year 1070.

'The Year 1070 - Survival' is their story.
