Devastating raids by the Vikings on the east coast of England in the 8th century AD led to their conquest of almost half the country. Our own region’s experience was very different, with most Viking activity being peaceable and beneficial. A coin mint flourished in Chester, and trade links with other Viking settlements around the Irish Sea made the city wealthy and prosperous.
This exhibition explores the Viking heritage of Cheshire, looking at why they came here, how they lived, and the evidence they left behind. Exhibits include loans from national museums and important Viking sculptures from local churches. Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the exhibition is part of the Chester Viking Festival.
