More about this scene
We head away from Cheddar to Wedmore, a small town in the fork of a valley on the north side of the ridge that stretches west from Wells. It looks across the Levels to the Mendips. It is known to history students as a royal residence and the setting for King Alfred's meeting in 878 with Guthrum, the leader of the all- conquering Danish armies. The resulting Treaty of Wedmore divided England into two: the Danes were ceded all the territory east of Watling Street, the 'Danelaw'.
