The incredible ancient history of Haxby

Around five miles north of the centre of York, Haxby is a small town which has roots which go all of the way back to the 9th century. While it was originally thought that the area was initially a Viking settlement, evidence has in fact been found which has suggested that the Romans may have occupied the town at an earlier date.
