Medieval Longbow Demonstration

&

Life in the Merchant’s House

 

 

Archers from the Walsingham Pilgrims will be demonstrating the deadly effectiveness of a medieval English longbow this summer. Watch how the arrows fly through the air and the impact on their targets, even on armour! Discover just how powerful an English war bow is and the sort of damage the various arrowheads can do.

Afterwards, head into our Medieval Merchant’s House to learn what life was like in Tewkesbury when the Battle was raging…
