Yesterday was a glorious day to visit @TamworthCastle
Great talk from @AnnieWHistory about the women of #Mercia followed by a fun walk around the Saxon camp and the various reenactment groups. Loved the @staffshoard exhibit too.
All in lovely sunshine. Happy days ☀️

@AnnieWHistory @TamworthCastle @staffshoard I was gutted couldn't get to see your Aethelflaed talk on Saturday but I really enjoyed hearing about the other women of Mercia yesterday. Thank you. 🙏😊
