Let’s Discover… Chain Mail
Visit Chepstow Castle and have a go at making a patch of maille (chain mail) to take home with you. Learn how traditional maille was made, and see the tools and techniques for making the rings from a piece of wire. Learn how the rings were 'woven' together, and have a go at linking and riveting rings for yourselves. Replicas of mail from different historical periods will be on show, and you can try on a mail shirt to see how it would feel to wear one. This is a drop-in session with no need to book.
