They came to England because of England's good climate. They also had many monks and nuns who helped make almost all the people in England Christians. There were some main saints who travelled to the Anglo Saxon England to introduce the Christianity religion who were: St Augustine, St Aidan, St Bede and St Cuthbert. The Monks and Nuns who ruled the Churches normally made beautiful art out of glass and card. Some of this we still have today. Also the monasteries and churches are still standing today from the time of the Anglo Saxons. They did make some wonderful things. It’s a shame we don’t have them today!

Who were the Anglo Saxons and where did they come from?
ReplyDeleteThe Angles and the Saxon tribes were the largest of the three attacking tribes and so we often know them as Anglo-Saxons. They shared the same language but were each ruled by different strong warriors. The Anglo Saxons were Warrior Farmers too. The Anglo Saxons came from northern Germany,Denmark and they also came from the Netherlands. They sailed across the North Sea in their long ships, which had one sail and many oars. They made a series of attacks on different parts of the country over a period of years and under a number of leaders.
Why did they come to Britain, what did they do and what were there greatest achievements?
The Anglo Saxons came to Britain because of better land for farming and growing crops , better climate change, also for a better way to life on earth. The Anglo Saxons arrived in Britain, most of them kept clear of Roman towns. They preferred to live in small villages. However, warrior chiefs knew that a walled city made a good fortress. So some Roman towns, like London, were never completely abandoned.In the tenth and eleventh century, artists in England embraced drawing as never before. In part inspired by the kinetic line, agitated figures, and exuberant drapery of the Utrecht Psalter, which had made its way to England by the year 1000, these Anglo-Saxon artists reveled in the possibilities offered by the pen, creating works of unparalleled humanity, charm, and elegance.
Which religion did they follow and what religion did they become?
The Anglo-Saxons were pagans when they came to Britain, but, as time passed, they gradually converted to Christianity. Many of the customs we have in England today come from pagan festivals.
What is a monastery and which Monasteries where the famous ones?
A monastery is a building or complex of buildings comprising the domestic quarters and workplaces of monastics, whether monks or nuns, and whether living in communities or alone (hermits). A monastery generally includes a place reserved for prayer which may be a chapel, church or temple, and may also serve as an oratory.
Monasteries vary greatly in size, comprising a small dwelling accommodating only a hermit, or in the case of communities anything from a single building housing only one senior and two or three junior monks or nuns, to vast complexes and estates housing tens or hundreds. A monastery complex typically comprises a number of buildings which include a church, dormitory, cloister, refectory, library, balneary and infirmary.Saint Cuthbert (c. 634 – 20 March 687) was a saint of the early Northumbrian church in the Celtic tradition. He was a monk, bishop and hermit, associated with the monasteries of Melrose and Lindisfarne in what might loosely be termed the Kingdom of Northumbria in the North East of England.[5] After his death he became one of the most important medieval saints of Northern England, with a cult centred on his tomb at Durham Cathedral. Cuthbert is regarded as the patron saint of northern England. His feast day is 20 March.
What kind of art and buildings did they leave behind?
