Knit A Battlefield With Us!

Join us in an epic attempt to recreate a Civil War battle with wool! 

The Battle of Naseby took place in open farmland. We would like to bring the landscape and characters of this decisive battle to life in the museum but we need your help! We're imagining knitted soldiers, horses, cows, a rabbit warren, hills and perhaps even a windmill. But let’s start simple and knit some fields!
