A HISTORY OF WARWICKSHIRE 



Yorkshire. The exploration of British barrows on the Wolds has 

 incidentally brought to light a number of secondary burials that must be 

 assigned to the Anglo-Saxon period. The absence of ornaments renders 

 a more precise date inadmissible, but with the Mercian kingdom the 

 political history of Warwickshire may be said to begin ; and where the 

 pagan relics of the grave cease to appear, the written page takes up the 

 record.
