The ‘Shrewsbury Levy’ medieval enactment group (which used to be known as Les Miles de Marches) sport loggerheads badges on their costumes. It’s great to see them in action, especially when re-creating the 1403 Battle of Shrewsbury.
In fact, there is no proof that the Levy (a kind of town militia) wore the loggerheads badges back in 1403 - but then, there is no proof they didn’t, either…
Thanks for the photo to Lin Keska.
A new book has now been published to celebrate 600 years of the loggerheads - click here to find out more.
