Elizabethan Games And Past Times
A Servant Having a Go At Archery
Rufford Park (2004)
Archery was a dying art at the end of Elizabeths reign. None the less there was still enough people who practiced it to make it a significant event on Sundays.
There is little evidence that women practiced archery - though we know Elizabeth herself did - so it may not have been as unusual as we think.Photographer: Susanne Atkin
