Noble Friends,

Today the BBC has a very interesting piece on the discovery of a Saxon communal oven in Norfolk: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-24211947 .

It will be interesting to see how this over is reconstructed. I suspect it might have been a larger version of this 18th century-style oven from the Jas Townsend & Son videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0foHjPVbP4 . Such ovens are also in use at Colonial Williamsburg.

Yours Aye,

Lord Mungo Napier, The Archer of Mallard Lodge
