Jack made the spinning wheels at Kentwell that are used at our #16th #re-creations.
If any UK based spinners want a Great Wheel, the amazing Jack Greene is taking commissions.
He made my #spinningwheel, it’s incredible craftsmanship and excellent value.

A #windowsonwednesday view of our #15thc Moat House with a child leaning from the jettied upper floor.
The moat serves as a fishpond for the house and is always teeming with waterfowl.

A wood turner at work with a pole lathe.
Used to make everyday items ranging from tool handles and furniture legs to bowls and cups used by ordinary people for eating and drinking.

A very small #Tudor at one of our re-enactments, trying to open the door into our Tower of Babel tree.
He won’t have much luck because everyone knows it only opens at midnight on Midsummer Eve at the full moon….

For #TudorTuesday here’s a spectacular photo of one of our Tudors at a firing of our #pottery kiln.
NB one of the things in the picture might not be entirely Tudor….
