Blacksmith Forging 12th & 15th Century Wrought Iron Arrowheads. A day in the forge with blacksmith & arrowsmith Will Sherman of medievalarrows.co.uk as he recreates three types of 12th and 15th Century wrought iron arrowheads - the originals of which are to be seen at the Museums of London, Blandford and Winchester.
Each arrowhead in this video is identified by either the Museum of London's or Oliver Jessop's typology:
First head: Jessop's type M2 mid 15thC now at Winchester Museum (original find Wolvesey Palace); second head: Jessop's type MP3 12th Century now at Blandford Museum; third head: Museum of London Type 16, 15thC.
Filmed with kind permission of Honeybrook Farm, Dorset.
Located in stunning Dorset and close to the New Forest, Honeybrook Farm is the site of an evocative, working forge set amidst Victorian farm buildings.
Many thanks to Will, Helen and Harvey Sherman.
I'm Mick Grewcock, retired from business and now self-learning the arts of longbow- and film-making. Join me in my light-hearted quest for knowledge as I learn to combine the ancient woodworking craft of bow-making with digital videography and film making - I'd be delighted to have you for company on this bizarre journey combining digital and primitive technology.
I have a deep passion for the medieval English longbow, the great warbow - the powerful version of the English longbow that earned its fearsome reputation during the Middle Ages, notably the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries on the ferocious battle fields of France and England during the One Hundred Years War (and in the hands of Robin Hood too!). It is an iconic weapon - and to this day, exudes heritage and awesome power.
Lots of bow making on my channel - do browse, view, like comment and subscribe. I have videos on making yew, hazel, elm and blackthorn longbows as well as many others related to primitive and instinctive archery, target archery arrow and bow making. In my videos you will see and hear what it is like to self learn bow making. I am self-taught as a bowyer - learning the hard way to work wood to make a bow - and still discovering every day. Sometimes I fail, sometimes I succeed; but I'm always learning. I also explore the UK's rural landscape, sometimes in search of bow making woods, discovering survival skills, sometimes in search of the glories of this landscape.
