Never was an historical cause so worthy of support. Please visit the campaign page here.
The Staffordshire hoard is the most important and the largest find of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver in existence, and the campaign to raise £3.3m to keep it together and in what was once Mercia is a noble one.
As my old tutor Dr David Starkey was quoted saying today, this hoard epitomises what good history is all about:
“History is not just about reason and logic, which is what you get with the school curriculum, it is about story and myth and emotion. This hoard has got all of those things.”
