Court Leet Sits Again
After an absence or over 150 years the Market Place once more played host to a Court Leet. A group of Trust members dressed in costume to re-enact the old Court Leet Trials.
Volunteers found themselves sent to the Dungeon, sat in the Stocks or threatened with the Scold's Blank.
All was done in a lighthearted manner and the audience joined in with gusto.
