In Search of Guthlac

Current Archaeology offers an article titled “In search of Guthlac, Crowland’s early medieval hermit,” byline “Excavations in Crowland, Lincolnshire, are exploring the remains of a structure that might be linked to an Anglo-Saxon anchorite.”

While Crowland has been traditionally assumed to be Guthlac’s home, a nearby site at the suggestively-named Anchor Church Field is now the subject of archaeological attention, turning up remarkable ceramics and bone, plus evidence of a large structure.
