Herefordshire was a significant, contested part of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Mercia. Especially during the eighth century when King Offa established the border along the River Wye, protected by Offa’s Dyke. Several sites in Herefordshire have pre-Conquest or Mercian origins.
Professor Keith Ray will be giving a talk on the Mercian fortress in Herefordshire.
