one of the West Saxon words for "wife" was frithuwebbe (peace weaver). A chieftain could settle a feud with a rival nation or form a political union by marrying. In Æthelflæd, however, Lord Ethelred would find more than a typical peace weaver, which she would be in uniting Ethelred's Mercia and Alfred's Wessex. She would do more than any other political leader of her century to strengthen the defense of Mercia and win back the lands it had lost from the Danes.
More stained-glass Anglo-Saxons, though this time the windows are from Northumberland, and some of the people aren't Angles or Saxons at all...

Sherborne Abbey, Sherborne, Dorset The Lady Chapel, the North window 1932 by Christopher Webb
St Margaret was born in Hungary of Anglo-Saxon and Hungarian parents. When William of Normandy conquered England she found refuge with King Malcolm III of Scotland, and they were married in 1070 and had eight children. She reformed the royal court, founded monasteries, and supported major reforms of Church life. She died in Edinburgh on 16 November 1093. She is remembered for the happiness of her marriage, for her devotion to prayer and learning, and especially for her generosity to the poor. This stained glass window of the saint is in St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh.
St. Edward the Martyr, Roman Catholic English King. Mar. 18
All Saints Church Hough on the Hill boasts an Anglo-Saxon base. What can be seen from that time is a semi-circular stair projection some windows and part of the Nave. There was a 12th century Augustinian priory that stood close by but nothing remains.
Apex Windows can be difficult to dress at times, but we feel these neutral pencil pleat apex curtains look beautiful in the customers room. We recommended Prestigious Textiles Wide Width fabric from the 'Saxon' Collection. Prestigious Textiles are notoriously competitively priced, and we love the timeless simplicity

Places to visit in and around Stratford: Coln Rogers Follow - from the road through the valley you can hear the river Coln murmur through the water-meadows below. Water swirls round the legs of drinking cattle, through the beds of yellow flags, between stepping-stones and past the church winding down to Bibury and the valley’s end. This is Old England, Saxon settlements strung along a wooded valley each with it’s ancient church: Coln St. Dennis, Coln Rogers, Winson, Bibury. Coln Rogers was the gift of a C12 knight, Roger of Gloster wounded at Walyeson, to the Abbey of Gloucester, for the good of his soul, in 1150. No more than small hamlet that follows the road, the church stands at the end of a narrow lane heading down towards the river. The church is almost entirely late Saxon, only the Perpendicular tower, south porch and east wall have been added or substantially altered. Characteristic Saxon features betray a woodworking tradition adapted to stone. The angles of the nave have long-and-short work where upright and horizontal stones alternate vertically and the sides of the church have typical early flat pilasters. This is a rare survival, a pre-Conquest building with a 1000 years of history set amongst the water-meadows of a remote Cotswold valley. The interior of the church is rather plain and indeed heavily restored but it does have a C15 figure of St. Margaret in stained glass and several good C19 windows by Heaton, Butler and Baynes. A substantial west gallery of 1910 supports the organ loft and an impressively primitive chancel arch divides the rectangular plan in two, a layout common to Saxon buildings of this date. On the south of the nave the pilaster is inscribed with a Saxon scratch-dial with five radii and the north wall of the nave has a small, round-headed Saxon window carved from a single block of stone. David Talbot Rice an expert in Byzantine art is buried to the north of the church and by peering over the north-west wall of the churchyard you will see the ruins of C14 building, possibly a priest’s house. The Coln valley is one of our ancient landscapes little altered through the centuries, long may it survive. The Coln valley crosses the Fosseway just south of Northleach and is about an hours journey from Stratford-upon-Avon. www.bwthornton.co.uk
