We had the pleasure recently of hosting a visit by the historian and presenter Michael Wood and his team. The Parker Library and its manuscripts, including the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, will be featured in three programmes that the team are filming for a new BBC series. The trilogy of films, scheduled for broadcast in Autumn 2013 will cover the lives of Anglo-Saxon kings from Alfred through to Aethelstan.

Great! I look forward to seeing the programmes. I like the link to the Anglo Saxon Chronicle images on the Parker Library on the Web too. I enjoyed looking through the manuscript online – a treat!
