Most recently we had a very interesting visit and talk from Ian Uzzell who made a grand entrance dressed as a Viking warrior!
He talked about the significance of the clothing that he was wearing and those that would have been worn by his wife in Viking times (as seen on the model below) and of the artifacts that he had brought to show us.
Ian, complete with chain-mail.
That was really heavy - goodness knows how they ever moved about wearing that! All of his clothing was made in true style - right down to his shoes!
The linen cloth for this embroidery has been woven by Ian.
Spindles for spinning yarn and a Viking 'kniddy knoddy' for winding the yarn ready for washing.
