ROMSEY Abbey Heritage Day has once again taken place as a celebration of the ancient arts and crafts of the market town.

Stalls were set up to display the skills of the townspeople from medieval and late modern times.

Among the attractions were swordfights, with knights dressed up in chain mail going at it hammer and tongs.

Another draw was a display of the ancient foodstuffs we believe were consumed by the good people of Romsey centuries ago.

These were just a couple of the myriad arts and crafts on show at Romsey Abbey on Saturday, October 26.

Here are some of the photos of the event, which took place between 10am and 3pm. All photos by Philip Clewer.
