Fort Nelson invaded by Anglo Saxon warriors setting up camp for the weekend - picture gallery

Fort Nelson, in Portchester, welcomed to its grounds a settlement from the re-enactment society Regia Anglorum, with volunteers staging sword fights, offering axe throwing lessons to children, and teaching historical craft skills.

More than 20 volunteers camped overnight to offer a weekend of activities. Roland Williamson, business manager for the re-enactment society, said it was the first time the group had visited the fort, with the visit being ‘a huge success’.
