Re-enacting
We have been taking part in 17th century re-enactment for over 40 years now and can usually be found these days in the living history area. I am interested in other periods but getting a whole load of extra kit could be off-putting! I’d quite like to have a go in some armour one day…
Hopefully there will be more articles here as and when we think of suitable subjects. There are also photographs of re-enactments.
These pages also contain articles that we first put on the world wide web in 1996 at our original website at www.vincents.demon.co.uk and then at www.12eyes.co.uk, which is maybe why you have just arrived here.
