“As the extraordinary discovery of Sutton Hoo unveiled the riches buried in death for the people of this time – the story of Yeavering, to be told at Ad Gefrin, reveals the riches found in life,” adds Dr Ferguson.
The Chart of sources for Arthurian legends was found in 1943 by David Jones [1895-1974] & thence Purchased by the Archive from the Anthony d’Offay Gallery in 1982.
