About Us

Members of the Barony range across all ages, and include students, young people, families with small children, as well as those who have been in the SCA for many moons. Members share a common interest in recreating the historical time periods pre-17th century, including fighting in armor, martial combat, mounted combat, costuming, cooking, dance, archery, bookbinding, leatherwork, embroidery, ceramics, calligraphy, illumination, wood carving and diverse arts and sciences.
