A Viking helmet unearthed in Yarm in the 1950s is the first to ever be found in Britain, according to new research.
A research project led by Dr Chris Caple also found it is only the second near-complete Viking helmet found in the world.Image captionThe age of the helmet had caused much debate until now. Dr Caple, Emeritus Reader at Durham University, said:"It was a challenging project, as the thin iron sheet is now very susceptible to corrosion , so it was not simply a question of only showing the date at which it was created, but working out how it had survived until it was unearthed in the 1950s.
