Yeavering Archive: Aerial Photograph of Yeavering as First Seen in 1949
This photograph first alerted archaeologists, and Brian Hope-Taylor in particular, that Yeavering may contain
important archaeological remains associated with Ad Gefrin. The photo was taken in the summer of 1949 by J.K.S. St
Joseph and shows (at the top) the Great Enclosure and the series of buildings extending down from it,
which include the Great Hall. The theatre is barely visible as a dark triangle and various rectangular buildings can
be seen towards the bottom of the picture and to the top left.

about the Anglo-Saxon royal centre or explore the archive further.
