The Escafeld Medieval Society was formed
over 30 years ago by a group of Police Officers based in Sheffield. It
all started in 1971 as the entertainment for the annual Police Gala
where the aforementioned group performed a display on the theme of the
Wild West.
This went down very well
and the intrepid players were asked to return the following year,
this time the theme of medieval knights was chosen. This was even more
popular than the first show and some suggested that it might make a
great hobby in itself. Sure enough, the Escafeld Medieval Society was formed in 1973 and so far has enjoyed almost 35 years of displays in Yorkshire and further afield in Wales and Scotland.
