    Medieval Falconry with Huxley's

 Falconry is an ancient sport of using a trained bird of prey to hunt. The Sport is over 4000 years old and still practiced in much of England as well as across the globe. In the medieval period falconry was not only a way of providing food for the table but also a way of displaying your status within society. Q kestrel for example would be kept by a knave whereas a Gyr falcon would be kept only by Kings and Emperors. Women of nobility would often own a Merlin.

If you are planning a medieval event you may be thinking about a falconry demonstration!. Huxley's can provide a display or talk with full attire! Pictures are hopefully coming very soon!
