Visit the world-famous Jorvik Viking Centre which stands on the site of a remarkable archaeological discovery. From 1976 to 1981, archaeologists from the York Archaeological Trust, an independent educational charity, uncovered the houses, workshops, and backyards of the Viking-age city of Jorvik, nearly 1,000 years old.
Jorvik Viking Centre: Herefordshire Hoard
The Herefordshire Hoard has been loaned to York Archaeology by its owners, Herefordshire Council. It currently comprises 29 silver coins, one silver ingot, a beast’s head gold bracelet, a rock crystal pendant and a gold ring. It would have been buried around AD 878, and represents the first evidence of the Great Viking Army in Herefordshire.
