Exploring Three English Towns at the End of the Silk Road

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • Three English towns—Lichfield, Jarrow, and Southend-on-Sea—are unexpectedly connected to the historic Silk Road, highlighting Britain's Christian heritage.
  • The British Museum's Silk Roads exhibition features these towns, emphasizing their roles in the second half of the first millennium.
  • Lichfield was an important staging post for travelers, known for its magnificent cathedral and connection to famous figures like Samuel Johnson.
  • Jarrow is noted for its historic significance as a center of learning, home to notable figures like theologian Bede and the production of the world’s oldest Latin Bible.
  • The Prittlewell Princely Burial discovered in Southend-on-Sea showcases a burial of high status, believed to challenge the notion of Britain's isolation post-Roman Empire.
