York’s Viking Sock Becomes Part of ‘A History of the North in 100 Objects’

The unique Viking sock, crafted in the tenth century ago using the traditional nalebinding technique, and preserved in York’s waterlogged soil for over 1000 years, has been named one of the most important artefacts in the North.  ‘A history of the North in 100 objects’ is a new initiative that encourages visitors to explore history’s greatest treasures as part of the Great Exhibition of the North.
