Martin Welch


I was very sad to hear that Martin Welch died last year. I was in his 'Anglo-Saxon Burial Customs' module when an undergraduate from 1986-9 at UCL. Although not my principle interest he made the subject fascinating and I have been looking at A/S incursions into the south west recently. I will be returning to his books with speed, as he was one of the most knowledgeable and interesting writers in the country on the period.
