About Days Gone By:

Since meeting at university 10 years ago, Samuel and Hayden have worked for the Jorvik Viking Centre, Murton Park’s Danelaw Centre for Living History, and York Museums Trust.
As a partnership, they have attended national re-enactment events, local historical society venues, traded at medieval markets, and even worked in film and television teaching Al Murray to use a sword and round shield on the television programme ‘Why do the Brits win every War?’. Days Gone By gives you the chance to get hands on with history.
