The Anglo-Saxon Invasion of England took place from the mid-fifth to early seventh centuries, following the end of Roman power in Britain around the year 410. The "monthly" life of the times is illustrated in a series of pictures. The Anglo-Saxon Calendar 7/12: July aka Hey-monat: was the month for gathering in the hay. The fam workers used scythes, sickles and rakes to gather the crop for use as thatch, animal fodder and carpeting the floor.
