Sad trebuchet news
Posted: Sun Dec 17, 2023 7:25 pm
After 15 years of hurling projectiles twice a day the trebuchet in my signature was deemed unsafe to use in 2020.
It was advertised for sale, needing repairs, for £100k but sadly there were no offers so it has been cut up and used to make benches in the grounds of Warwick castle where it served.
RIP old friend.
Now for the good news.
At a cost of £500k they have built a new one the same size.
