Anglo-Saxon work experiences

Most Anglo-Saxon children didn't go to school. The only schools that excised in Anglo-Saxon times were attached to churches and were disinged to teach future priests, nuns and munks how to read and write. So most children spent their days learning the skills they would need to run a home, and children would start working at a young age.
