1685 Society at Basing House

 A picture from the mid 90s at the first event of the 1685 Society at Basing House. Not exactly Somerset but the warden was a reenactor who was prepared to give us a go. There was also a store of pikes there. The pair of pikeman flanking Owen were a small group Kirke's Lambs. After this event they went their own way.

The good thing about that event was Dr David Chandler with friends turned up as they had been at a memorial service for Wilf Emberton I think and they enjoyed our little event.

I had this booklet produced and gave a copy to David Chandler so he had my address and phone number so when he was approached in 2000 about a Blenheim event in Bavaria for 2004 he contacted us.

Page from my booklet though it was in black and white!
