Living History is making history come to life, and there are groups around the country that weekend in and weekend out (and some days in between) will set up a living history encampment, although at the moment my pages are focused generally upon the Migration, Saxon/Viking age, many of the items are transferable to other periods such as Roman and Crusade and earlier/later.
We hope this section can provide you with items to enhance your display, and if you're not a re-enactor, then also to enhance your home.
Please note that some wooden items may no longer be in stock throughout event season however please contact me to replicate anything you may see and like.

A skutching knife is used in the turning of Flax into linen, by breaking the outer husk on the flax plant after retting and before rippling .
This knife was bashed against the bunch of the flax plants. The better this job was done, the easier the rippling.
This utensil is based upon the one found in York during the Viking Saxon period. This example is made from OAK.
