A TASTE of the 17th Century came to Barnoldswick at the weekend.

Victory Park saw the Sealed Knot Society staging two re-enactments.

The event gave visitors a peak into 17th Century life with a soldiers’ encampment with gunpowder making, authentic cooking fires, armourers and an army accountant.

Participants fought two pitched battles as part of the town’s gala weekend.

There was also a tug-of-war contest, live music, and a funfair.
