Discover the story behind one of our oldest documents: an Anglo Saxon will which dates back to 1004AD. This sheepskin parchment has been on an interesting journey throughout its millennia-long lifespan: join us to learn about its origins and decode its contents.

Our spotlight talks take place in the Staffordshire History Centre exhibition space – there is no need to book, just come along. These short 15 minute talks are designed to introduce visitors to highlights from our collections.

This is a free event but all donations support us to care for our collections.
