Dear Mr. Cornwell,

Your Saxon Stories have really made me curious as to how Anglo-Saxons, and in particular Alfred the Great himself, have looked upon the heritage of their Roman predecessors. While you write about Uhtred wondering on how the Romans had been able to build magnificent stone buildings, walls, roads etc. I have started to wonder if this thinking about the Roman past is just something you assumed they probably might have done or if you have any sources that show that they actually did?
