We were treated to Sir William Godolphins Regiment of Foote re-enacting what life was like during the 17th Century and the English Civil War.

We were able to witness them dining on authentic food, relaxing in camp and in Battle. It was very enjoyable and surreal- it really felt as though we had travelled back in time.

Thanks Rocks and Rude for bringing home the pix for us to see what you did. Much appreciated.

I went many moons ago when they had a kiln and were firing tiles like they used to.
