Nottinghamshire is fortunate in that it has a tangible link to its origins. In this year 2016 we have an opportunity to celebrate 1000 years of history. Our first celebration is to mark 1000 years since the Danish Viking Canute became King of England. Our second celebration is to mark 1000 years since Nottinghamshire was recorded as a Shire in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles. This may not be a coincidence as the connections are deeply rooted in the Danelaw and the existence of the Five Boroughs within it. (See previous posts).
These extremely important events will be celebrated at Sherwood Pines Nottinghamshire on 14th and 15th of May. A Viking Spring Thing, using the traditions of our Thynghowe Viking Assembly Site, will provide a perfect setting to tell the story of our important Nottinghamshire heritage.
