In this episode we journey back nearly a thousand years to discover more about Waltheof, the last Saxon Lord of Hallamshire.

We’re joined by John Moreland, Professor of Medieval Archaeology at the University of Sheffield and David Clarke, Associate Professor at Sheffield Hallam University’s Department of Media Arts & Communications, and co-founder of the Centre for Contemporary Legend.

We chat archaeology, folklore, and the hunt for Sheffield’s Camelot.
