Hello On the 6 & 7th August we are staging another 19th Century extravaganza at Hoveton Hall Gardens in Norfolk.

I have coracle and Bodger. {anything thats not human and breathes/has a pulse is shuddering at the mention of his name and seeking a dark place to hide }

And we fish, authentic like, at Pensthorpe on the August bank Holiday w/e [with permission of course].

Jim said "We appreciate that a sit-down meal would not generally occur in the context of a military camp" Totally disagree. We don't have much imagery of medieval camp/soldier eating esp. from these islands, BUT if ye have a look in the Schilling chronicles from the 1470's, then there are ...
