All will be able to recognise what clothing Anglo Saxons wore. Most will identify why Anglo Saxons wore particular clothing. Some will be able to identify the status of Anglo Saxon clothing.

 People wore clothes made from woollen

cloth or animal skins. Men wore tunics, with tight trousers or leggings, wrapped around with strips of cloth or leather. Women wore long dresses. Women spun the wool from sheep and goats to make thread.

 Clothing styles varied from region to

• region. For instance, an Anglian woman

fastened her dress with a long brooch. A Saxon woman used a round brooch. Clothing also changed over time.

 These clothes were made out of natural

fibres like wool, flax (linen) and cotton. We still use these fibres today to make clothes but back in those days, they were the only types of material available to everyone.

Saxons.
