About us
We are a widely scattered group of friends who come together at private weekends, public shows, film shoots and promotions all across the UK with a burgeoning US membership. You have to be eighteen to join in your own right, but kids can join as proper members when their parents do. And we really welcome families, having loads of them already! You can see what we do and it is exciting, enthralling, educational, entertaining - and a hundred things you cannot guess at.
Sail in a Viking ship. Stand in the shield wall with your mates. Sit in a Longhall at a feast and hear stories of long ago. Pot and carve and weave and cook and cobble and - drink some ale around the fire.
Well, what did you do last weekend?......

Sarah T. asked:Morning. Does anyone have any knowledge, experience or advice on doing Anglo-Saxon embroidery. I'm looking and around the 7thC in the UK. I have looked at the bayeux tapestry but was wondering anyone had any other sources. Many thanks.Elizabeth B. replied:Hi - the Opus Aglicanum exhibition's earliest piece was 1100, and though the book is gorgeous it only tells you in words which stitches were used, it doesn't actually picture them directly or tell you how to do them! (Bit of a no brainer to include those details for an exhibition on embroidery, I thought ...!). I found this document which may help http://needleprayse.webcon.net.au/research/embroidery_for_clothing_Anglo_Saxon.pdf and this one from Regia Angolorum https://regia.org/research/life/embroid.htm Hope that helps
