To celebrate Heritage Open Days, local storyteller Christine Genders will hosting a free special storytelling event here at the Birthplace.
The writings of the extraordinary scholar, the Venerable Bede, shine light on the Anglo Saxon kingdoms. This set of stories developed from his writings concentrate on our local history, telling of Penda founding Mercia and his battles with the rulers of Northumberland, a hidden hoard, and the reason Chad came to Lichfield.
