Towton reenactment

[nevermore]

Towton event Palm Sunday photos on site including photo 5 Robert Hardy (who was a real gentleman) and as I am sure many of you know as well as being a fine actor All creatures great and small and some Churchillian performances is a renowned expert on the English Longbow
The day and battlefield were both very interesting the guided tour was excellent and the re enactors both informative and entertaining Im sure DaveP and his colleagues enjoyed it too.

Nice photos. I'd love to get to Towton at some point.

Do go to Tewkesbury - it's fabulous. I've taken part several times and enjoyed it thoroughly. If you do go, wave at the shiny chaps for me as I can't make it this year to (try to!) smite them

Can't be Towton, there's no snow 

Nice to see the gear in use though - especially the weapons and armour.

The clothing does all look terribly neat and clean though 

But thanks for sharing.

You'd be surprised on how protective people can be on about their war clothes. We have a few in our regiment that get their fighting kit DRYCLEANED after every battle 

I only think about showing it water when it starts to walk

Water? That's keen! Surely a quick spray with Febreeze is enough?
