The Household is an offshoot of the C15th group The White Company. 

Their aim is to display a representation of how a medieval house 
was organised, furnished, decorated and lived in. 
This is achieved by using a long modern frame tent,
and dividing it into the various rooms of the 
standard tri-partied medieval Hall House.
 

Each section will represent one room and will be filled with 
hangings, furniture and fittings appropriate to that space. 
Within these rooms will be demonstrated:
 
 

The Great Hall
Clerking & Accountancy 
Carding, Spinning & Weaving Wool 
Weaving Silk 
 Dining & Etiquette
 
 

The Buttery (wet products)
Storage of Ales & Wine
