What we do is bring along several replicas of period items and use them to show what life was like. We try our best to use period foodstuffs and techniques to feed ourselves, using period implements and just generally get a little under the skin of how life was. text/html 2007-01-25T22:17:46+01:00 http://www.johnfox.org.uk/doku.php/modern We are a modern Re-enactment group with members all across the UK.

Please register and then try and add useful and informative pages yourself. The main theme of course is the history of the mid seventeenth century in the UK from about 1630 through to 1660. Mostly we're interested in social history of people between 1640 and 1653 and usually we stick closely to the period 1645 - 1651.

I have been in re-enactment since 1969 and was one of the large bunch of long-haired hippies who dropped out of the SK to found The King's Army of the West and, eventually, the Roundhead Association.
