"A big thank you to all who joined us on our King's Coronation Sunday, an event fired by a spirit of its own.
It was a pleasure to welcome, for the first time, the Militias of Anglia with their firepower, bangs and blades. But beyond the fearsome weaponry, they also gave us a fascinating insight into every day life in the 17th century, warts and all.
If the surgeon, her props at the ready on her kitchen table, was enough to make the hardiest of us squirm, they also made us appreciate some of the gentler crafts of the fay. A hands-on quill writing stall drew young and ess young, as did the platoon's cook, with her authentic ingredients and chattels.
And you know when the costumes and props are the genuine article, when the soldiery smells of sulphur from the spent gunpowder.
We hope to have the Militias of Anglia back soon for more."
