Carew 500
Returning to carew castle for their 12th year, and as a favour to Carew Castle for the very close relationship the club now has with this venue, the Wolfshead Bowmen were very excited to have the honour of participating in Carew 500. Combining the group’s knowledge of Carew Castle with what this anniversary represented, the group changed their performance this year to reflect the importance of this festive occasion. With this in mind, Wolfshead Bowmen presented the awarding of the Knight of the Garter by the King Henry VII to Sir Rhys ap Thomas in 1507. The ceremony was marked by a fierce longbow archery competition and fire arrow display in the Kings honour. With the many honoured noblemen along with the Bishop of Wales that attended this momentous occasion, the scene reflected the colour and pageantry that no doubt would have been seen at the castle in 1507.
Included are some of the photos from this exciting event.
