Visitors to this site might wonder why Mistress Agnes has not set quill to keyboard recently, to inform her adoring public of her doings. (We will lay aside the fact that she can’t write). Mistress Agnes, alongside the rest of the Swords and Spindles team, has been very busy but would like to assure folk that, now plague has receded, we are venturing forth, visiting schools, history groups, social clubs and tourist attractions in the south-west and beyond. Although part of the appeal of our presentations is the audience participation, we do avail ourselves of the witchcraft that is is Zoom on occasions. Master Christopher is always thankful that this means he does not need to don his bucket-top boots.
The characters of the Swords and Spindles world are involved in other activities, as themselves and as their twenty-first century alter egos. You may encounter us writing books, telling stories, giving talks about other subjects, or generally supporting local history and family history projects; do come and say good-day, should our paths cross. For now, we extend greetings to you good folk, wherever you may be.
