Medieval Life during the Wars of the Roses

Time Period: Wars of the Roses

Performer / Organiser: Weald and Downland Living Museum, Black Knight Historical Living History

Sat 25 January 2025 – Sun 2 February 2025 at Weald and Downland Living Museum, Town Lane, Singleton, Chichester West Sussex PO18 0EU

To showcase how 15th century people would have lived, worked and survived the long winter months, the Museum and Black Knight Historical team have devised an unique immersive week-long event. They will be staying at the Museum from Saturday, 25 January through to Sunday, 2 February.

The Living History Team will be living in North Cray Medieval House for the 9 days, as they will fully dress and furnish the house as it may have been. Throughout their stay, the members of Black Knight will demonstrate how a late medieval household would have dealt with winter, when the sun is still low, when the cold and damp creeps into your bones and all you want to do is to hibernate, but there are still jobs to attend to.

The team will demonstrate cooking, sleeping, living, working both in and outside the house, mending items around the museum, digging ditches, cutting hedges and inviting members of the public to watch them as they go about their day.
