The Living History Camp of the Sealed Knot Society at Hall in Padiham in the county of Lancashire in England
Members of the Sealed Knot, English Civil War Re-enactment Society at their Living History Camp. The Sealed Knot helps bring history alive every year at period houses throughout the country where you can talk to major historical figures, try out a few recipes, learn about the life of a soldier on the march and maybe even "take the King's shilling".The Sealed Knot has been heavily involved in education for many years, giving school talks and displays about life in the Civil War throughout the UK. If your school or college is running a project on the Civil War period, the Sealed Knot can provide you with experts on everything from cookery to clothes, education and politics, through to weapons and battle strategies. Every year there is a summer festival at Gawthorpe Hall that is a publically owned museum which is a Jacobean Mansion in Padiham in Lancashire England. It is here, so it is said, that Charlotte Bronte, who wrote Jane Eyre, caught the cold that killed her tragically young. Gawthorpe Hall houses the famous Rachel Kay-Shuttleworth Collection one of the finest collections of textiles and embroidery in the British Isles.
