Kempston gives a nod to its roots with the name of its shopping mall: The Saxon Centre. The mall stands on the site of a Saxon cemetery dating back to the 5th century, in which a number of important archaeological artefacts were uncovered. These included the first example of Old English wool embroidery, as well as the ‘Kempston Beaker’, a perfectly preserved glass drinking vessel now on display at the British Museum.
