Some lovely character portraits of our mummers as they were at The Thomas Hardy Victorian Fair Sunday before last. The crowds seemed to enjoy the spectacle, especially joining in to raise the dead warriors!
Thank you to Dorsetbays for these shots. More of their photos of our mumming can be seen at their dedicated album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=DorsetbaysPhotography&set=a.1656673736458898
