  • Summary

  • History is written by the winners – but in the ground beneath our feet, lie secrets someone has tried to bury. We travel back in time to 878AD, a world of warring Anglo Saxon kingdoms and Viking invasions. Historian Gareth Williams reveals how the coins found by George and Layton could rewrite the story of King Alfred’s reign and of Britain itself.
