TEAM

Sally
Has a degree in Archaeology & Old English, and a C&G in Training and Education. She spent over a decade managing a hands-on gallery for the National Museum Wales, and went freelance in 2010 to pursue her interests in heritage education. She is the author of books on the history of cosmetics, herbs, and costume and is also a knitwear designer and avid hedge-botherer.

Gareth
Originally trained as a chef before deciding it was more fun to work in a different century. Gareth spent many years as the baker at Cosmeston Medieval Village, and these days specialises in early bone, horn and metalwork. He regularly demonstrates historic cooking and craft skills from prehistory to the early modern, and his work is found in museum education, film and theatre the world over.
