Walking to Waltham Abbey
about us

 

 

Re-enacting and reconstruction

This is another good way to discover what life for ordinary people was like. Living the life, walking the walk or cooking the food the way it was done in the past allows the many gaps left by ancient writers who only recorded the story of important people.
