galadhir:

OK I’m a partisan, but I couldn’t let that last reblog of an Anglo Saxon longhall go by without posting some photos of the longhall that I helped build. This one belongs to Regia Anglorum, and we’ve been building it –in it’s own grounds, with a forge, a defensive pallisade, a bower-house, a gate-house, moat and various other conveniences for about twenty years now. It’s situated in Kent in the grounds of a wildlife preserve.

It gets my goat that people depict the Saxon period as being uniformly brown. People loved colour then just as much, if not more, than they do now.

It's like they think the ancient Greeks and Romans did everything in white. Like, no, the paint wore off.
