Well, that thing on her belt that she took the necklace from, some would call it a pouch, but others would call it a pocket. Remember that Lucy Locket? Although she was much later, she lost her pocket, probably because it fell off her belt.

Pre-Christian England would be better. Britain had been largely Christian (at least officially) under the Romans, and conversion of the Picts was well underway by the sixth century.
Raedwald, the local king in the place and just before the time referenced in this video (died in 624, and was possibly buried at Sutton Hoo), was actually baptised in 604, though hedged his bets by maintaining an altar to the old gods alongside the one to Christ.
