Pelican-in-her-Piety is a public-friendly group of medieval history enthusiasts united by common aims: to research and re-enact high standard Late Medieval Living History in a lively manner, and to share our passion for history with visitors of all ages. Group members are keen to interact with the public and positively encourage the asking of questions

We maintain an encampment which conveys to visitors a vivid impression of life in 15th Century England, a heady mix of costumes, sights, sounds and smells.

Cooking over wood fires, recreating authentic dishes; & baking bread, churning butter, straining cheeses. People busying themselves with everyday tasks, working wool, net-making, rush-weaving, dipping candles. With the unrest of the Wars of the Roses rippling across the country, men-at-arms and archers practise and prepare for combat.

We display at a variety of sites in the S.E. England and in Europe. Regular clients include:

English Heritage: Dover Castle, Wrest Park, Carisbrooke Castle.

Chiltern Open Air Museum
