EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from September 1990, we are transported back in time to Restormel Castle in Cornwall. The medieval musicians, Rick and Helen Heavisides, known as Nellie, take center stage as they demonstrate and play enchanting melodies on their period instruments. Their passion for historical music shines through as they bring the past to life within the castle's ancient walls. The image captures the essence of a bygone era with its backdrop of castle battlements and stone architecture that whispers tales of centuries past. Dressed in authentic costumes, these talented musicians not only entertain but also educate visitors about the rich musical heritage of Cornwall. Beyond their musical talents, Rick and Helen also showcase their expertise in archery by giving demonstrations on the use of the longbow. This multi-faceted duo brings together history, entertainment, and skillful craftsmanship all under one roof. Photographed by Jonathan Barker, this snapshot freezes a moment where time seems to stand still. It serves as a reminder that even today we can immerse ourselves in the beauty and wonder of our ancestors' lives. This remarkable print is an invaluable addition to Royal Cornwall Museum's collection; it transports us back to a world filled with medieval melodies echoing through ancient corridors while offering glimpses into forgotten traditions such as archery skills passed down through generations.
