About the Herefordshire Hoard
The Herefordshire Hoard is one of the most significant Viking treasures ever discovered in Western Britain. So far, only part of the collection has been recovered, including remarkable items like a gold arm bangle with an animal head clasp, a crystal pendant encased in gold, a gold octagonal ring, and a silver ingot.
An unusual and important aspect of this discovery involves the Heritage Crime committed by those who found it, leading to the largest police heritage crime investigation and resulting in long custodial sentences. Police efforts continue in the hope of recovering more of the hoard.
Come along and uncover the mysteries of the Herefordshire Hoard with us!
