Yeavering Archive: Reconstruction of Yeavering by Peter Dunn

This painting depicts how Ad Gefrin may have looked. It is the work of Peter Dunn and appears in the book Anglo-Saxon England by Martin Welch (English Heritage Batsford Book - ISBN 0 7134 6566 2). The main building in the centre is the Great Hall.

In the distance it is possible to see the audience leaving the theatre to be baptised in the river Glen by Paulinus. In the foreground the palisade of the Great Enclosure can be seen and the richly carved post erected in the prehistoric burial mound.

You can find out more about Paulinus and baptism at Yeavering and the Great Enclosure. Alternatively you can explore the archive further or compare this reconstruction with Brian-Hope Taylor's reconstruction.
