Quill and Bow
Living History Group

A merry band of benedictine monks, nuns and followers who spend their time in the scriptorium illuminating or book making, if we are not there we are out healing the sick with our own surgeon and apothacary working from a fully operational herbarium while travelling on pilgrimage. 12th to 15th century. We also drift into Regency period where we put on a cracking regency picnic with games, archery and the odd duel to the death.
