We welcomed the English Civil War Society last weekend, to explore the Battle of St Fagans, which took place near the museum in 1649. They brought with them not only a fair amount of weaponry (as you'd expect), but an amazing number of skills and objects to demonstrate. I think a list would be a bit boring, so here are some photo higlights from the week-end. Thanks to Alcwyn for taking the photos, I was busy protecting the church from reforming zealots!
