Romans and Anglo-Saxons
The Romans in Britain and more about the Anglo-Saxons, the first English people.
The Romans and Anglo-Saxons gallery illustrates what impact the Romans had in Britain and tells the story of the Anglo-Saxons, the first 'English' people. Collection highlights include a reconstructed Roman villa from Totternhoe and the Shillington coin hoard, the largest collections of Roman gold coins. You can also see objects the Romans brought with them and discover what make-up Roman women wore and what food they cooked.
Luton was founded in the Saxon period and this gallery tells the story of its growth from small farmstead to Royal Manor. It illustrates the life of the first Saxons who lived in Luton, showing what they wore, and how they died. You can also see a reconstructed house based on the excavations at Puddlehill, in Houghton Regis.
