Don't miss the latest part of our #secretsinthestones series decoding #AngloSaxon art, which raises a tantalising possibility: beyond 'Romanitas', could this Staffordshire Hoard fitting preserve image of a lost #earlymedieval shrine or temple from the time of #SuttonHoo?

We’re learning more about the monastery that was here in Repton before the 873 Great Army takeover. Today, our finds included another fragment of stunning blue stained window glass 😍
