Welcome
Welcome to the website of the
Tower Hamlets Trayned Bandes. We are a regiment of the Parliamentarian Army and part of the Sealed Knot, the English Civil War re-enactment group.
If you've never heard of the Tower Hamlets Trayned Bandes, then our website has been put together to answer any initial questions you might have about us. We can't cover everything of course, but if there's anything further you'd like to know then feel free to contact us.
On our site you can find out about the Tower Hamlets Trayned Bandes regiment, both as today's re-enactment group, and the original seventeenth century regiment we draw our inspiration from.
We also cover the basic clothing and equipment we use, and the roles we play as souldiers within the regiment.
Those of us within the regiment can honestly say that there is nothing quite like the hobby of re-enactment. To be in the middle of a battle with all the noise, muskets firing, the cannon roaring, shouted orders, the clash of pike blocks, beating of drums, the charge of cavalry and the mass movement is like nothing else!
We hope that with this site we can share a little of that infectious excitement with you, and who knows, maybe encourage you to one day join us. Your weekends will never be the same again!
