The Peasant's Revolt Anniversary Virtual Tour

Bringing history to the public since 1986

And Did Those Feet

A Virtual Walk tracking the progress of the Peasants as they take control of London

On the anniversary of the Peasants Revolt we reconstruct the events that shook the medieval world. In June 1381, following the introduction of the iniquitous Poll Tax, England&#x27;s government nearly fell, shaken to the core by a revolt lead by working men. This dramatic tour provides a blow by blow, day by day account of the Revolt and depicts London in chaos in June 1381.We met up with the Peasants at Blackheath, and walk to the River at Greenwich ton confront the young King Richard II. Then we march on Southwark and Aldgate, force our way into the City. The King makes concessions by ending serfdom, but the peasants leaders take the mighty Tower of London and behead the leaders of Richard&#x27;s government. Attacks follow on the lawyers in the Temple, the Prior at St. John&#x27;s of Jerusalem, flemish Londoners, and on Lambeth and Savoy Palaces. The climax of the Revolt comes at Smithfield where a small Royal party confront the 30,000 peasants. This is a London Walks event. Look at their web site (www.walks.com) for a list of other of their amazing walks.
