Will Parry, who is a member of the locally-based "The House of the Twin-Tailed Lion", will talk about 13th -century marching camps, which was the subject of his dissertation.
Members of "The House of the Twin-Tailed Lion" are an authentic 13th-century re-enactment group based in Evesham, primarily covering the events of the second Barons’ War, the conflict between Henry III and some of the greatest English magnates in the mid 1260s. They portray Simon de Montfort’s household and retinue, with combat, living history, camp life and medieval crafts, including woodworking, blacksmithing, and clothes-making. They provide medieval re-enactment like no other group! The annual Battle of Evesham held in August is their main event – they are always at the foremost tip of the ‘boar snout’ formation during the battle. They are also tasked with protecting Simon de Montfort during his last stand at the end.
We discounted the idea of an actual physical display due to the length of the swords and the low ceiling height. They would, however, be happy to come and do something outdoors in the summer.
Come along to Badsey Community Sports & Social Club and be entertained for the evening.
Members free; non-members £2.50.
