EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the vibrant and awe-inspiring scenes of the Great Marches of Archers in the heart of 19th century London. Thousands of archers, proudly bearing their longbows, gathered in the fields of Finsbury, Moorfields, Spitalfields, and Bethnal Green for these colourful occasions of great splendour. These marches marked out the archers and their longbows in all their glory, as they paraded through the streets, showcasing their skills and dedication to their craft. The fields of London were transformed into a sea of colour as archers donned their finest attire, adorned with badges and emblems representing their various guilds and livery companies. The air was filled with the sound of jovial music, laughter, and the rhythmic thud of arrows being nocked and fired in practice. The sight of thousands of archers, their longbows at the ready, was an awe-inspiring spectacle that left a lasting impression on all who witnessed it. These marches were more than just a display of archery prowess; they were a celebration of community, tradition, and the spirit of camaraderie. The archers came together from all walks of life, united by their shared passion for the ancient art of archery. The Great Marches of Archers were a cherished tradition, a testament to the enduring legacy of London's rich history and the indomitable spirit of its people.
