 | | | | | | | The Anglo-Saxon Village
Six buildings have been reconstructed on the site where they were excavated; you can explore them, see pigs and chickens and absorb yourself in the atmosphere. Children and adults love trying out the furniture, working out what objects are for and seeing how each building is different. There is an introductory video before you go in, which tells the story of West Stow. | | | The Anglo-Saxon Centre
In the centre you will see facinating displays of some of the objects found during the excavation of the village (try to match them up with the replicas you have seen in the village), plus an exhibition of Replica Anglo-Saxon costume. Every aspect of life is covered, from fashion to farming, crafts to cremation! Early Anglo-Saxon material from West Stow, Icklingham, Westgarth Gardens and Eriswell is displayed. Angles cafeteria
With it's view over the reconstructed village and the Country Park bird feeding area, Angles is a restful place to get a hot or cold drink or snack. Shop
West Stow's shop sells all kinds of souvenirs, replicas and resources, many of which are unavailable anywhere else. There's something to please everyone, from families with young children to academics. | | | The Country Park
