The Company of Saint Joseph is a group of professional historical interpreters and living history specialists based in south east England. Our patron saint, Joseph, symbolizes our dedication to the artisans, craftsmen, tradesmen and everyday people so often missed when looking at our past. These are the people who lived, fought and died to shape our present day.We pride ourselves in providing an educated and in depth view of life in our chosen period of history, namely the 15th century, or more precisely 1470 - 1475. A time when the country was torn by a bitter civil war - the Wars of the Roses.

We can work outside this period, and indeed some of our members regularly do this with other groups. However, we believe depth is of more value than breadth and our own researches are concentrated mainly on the late 15th century.

Our displays and demonstrations include many aspects of 15th century life, and we also represent the martial aspect of the 15th Century through Man-at-arms and Archery displays.

Formed from members of award winning living history groups and medieval combat specialists, the Company presents regular events up and down the country at some of the most prestigious heritage sites in England and Europe. Our members include European living history award winners, museum curators, teachers and historical interpretation experts from the museums and heritage industry. Our client list includes English Heritage, the National Trust and many private concerns ranging from listed properties through to country parks.
