Demonstrations
Historical interpretation and demonstrations
I uniquely demonstrate the historical making and the applications of rope, from pre-Conquest times through to the Victorian era, when handmade rope-making was replaced by automated rope-making machines.
These demonstrations use different machines that are specific to the period that I am portraying and I try to link into the local history of the site.
I Normally work from one of my historic tents or stalls, But I have often used open spaces in and around historic houses, industrial sites, school halls, classrooms and even the first floor corridor of a museum.
Some of the other shows that I do are period specific and more details are given under the relevant heading. These include Candle dipping, Tudor navagation,Victorian showman, Lighting through the ages,and Talks on social history etc.
