Background
Architecture
The design of Ad Gefrin was inspired by a seventh-century palace owned by King Edwin of Northumbria that is situated at the base of Yeavering Bell. The name of Yeavering is first attested in Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People of 731, where it has the form ad gefrin. This originated in the Brittonic words gevr 'goats' and brïnn 'hill'; thus, the name meant 'hill of the goats'.
