Part of the ongoing management and long term access to the cultural heritage of Thynghowe involved a weekend of Viking Living History
with an encampment created at Sherwood Pines
![Page 27: Thynghowe and the Forgotten Heritage of Birklands](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052702/568bd92e1a28ab2034a611c4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Access to the intangible cultural heritage of Thynghowe culminated in a Spring Thing. We re-created a Viking Assembly of Danish warrior
farmers at Sherwood Pines
![Page 28: Thynghowe and the Forgotten Heritage of Birklands](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052702/568bd92e1a28ab2034a611c4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Authentic re-enactment provided learning opportunities and a re-engagement with past skills and traditions. Regia Angloram built
their camp and entertained the public for two days in a memorable display of our history.
![Page 29: Thynghowe and the Forgotten Heritage of Birklands](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052702/568bd92e1a28ab2034a611c4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Assembly Site at Thynghowe is a rare example of a place of gathering from some 1100 years ago. A place where in the spring
families would gather to swap stories, sell their wares and solve their disputes.
![Page 30: Thynghowe and the Forgotten Heritage of Birklands](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052702/568bd92e1a28ab2034a611c4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The public were told stories of the traditions and customs of the Danish warrior farmers. This is a Viking boat burial part of the days
educational programme.
![Page 31: Thynghowe and the Forgotten Heritage of Birklands](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052702/568bd92e1a28ab2034a611c4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The assembly at Thynghowe was at the root of Danish Customary Law - the Danelaw. Debate, oratory, and story telling forms the basis of our adversarial legal system. Here we see our heritage played out
at the Thing meeting.
![Page 32: Thynghowe and the Forgotten Heritage of Birklands](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052702/568bd92e1a28ab2034a611c4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
History is punctuated by battles and wars. Our heritage in Nottinghamshire includes many a fight. The Danish warrior farmers of the late 9th century were a standing army and here they are doing
their training.

The Friends of Thynghowe and their numerous new friends have spent a memorable year working with the community to create a
better understanding of our heritage and the part Birklands Forest has played throughout history. We have not finished yet. Look out for
further activities in the future.
