I have always been fascinated with British history. As a child, the monarchs, the Anglo-Saxons, the Vikings, Celts and Romans all intrigued me. I was also fascinated by Christianity.

So when I discovered the Venerable Bede’s Ecclesiastical History at the age of twelve, I was captivated. The stories of great saints and miraculous encounters engaged me in a compelling way, and its legends stuck with me. It meant that when I recently began my Master’s research, I knew exactly which topic to explore.
