We offer a practical demonstration of the manufacture of medieval and early Tudor pewter pilgrim badges.
The
demonstration includes mould making and casting of replica badges. Only
totally authentic tools, materials and methods are used. The practical
demonstration is complimented by an explanation of the importance of
pilgrimage to medieval people and the significance of pilgrim badges as
mass produced souvenirs. Original artefacts are also used in the
display.
The demonstration is also suitable for the early
Tudor period, when it will focus on the diminishing interest in
pilgrimage prior to its extinction at the time of the Reformation.
