The Sealed Knot (reenactment)

The Sealed Knot is a British historical association and charity, with many members from outside the United Kingdom, dedicated to costumed reenactment of battles and events surrounding the English Civil War.

The Sealed Knot was founded by Brigadier Peter Young, who was a military historian and a Second World War veteran.

With its large membership and high profile the Sealed Knot is the largest and best known of all the many re-enactment and historical groups and societies in the UK.

In addition there are three units that report directly to the Lord General: Sir William Waller’s Lifeguard of Horse, Okey’s Dragoons, and the trayne of Artillery.

Half Man Half Biscuit's song "Uffington Wassail" on their 2000 album Trouble over Bridgwater challenges the Society to re-enact "Luton Town – Millwall, nineteen eighty-five", a notorious incident of football hooliganism involving rival supporters.
