HISTORY will be coming to life at a moated Elizabethan manor house near Kidderminster this weekend.

Archers, priests and musicians will roam the grounds of Harvington Hall during the "Living History" event.

Members of the 20-strong "Harvington Household" group, described by the hall's business co-ordinator Sherida Breeden as "very knowledgeable", will be in full costume in the house and gardens.

The group has also started turning out for school visits on Thursdays as part of a new scheme.

Visitors will be able to try arrow-making and cooking in the kitchen and can watch a bookbinder at work.
