Trebuchet demonstration







Warwick is home to the world's largest trebuchet. A trebuchet is a huge wooden catapult that was used to launch things (like dead animals) over castle walls in order to attempt to contaminate the water supply and then seige the castle. We watched the demonstration and today fortunately used bolders. (A bit of a muddy day which you can notice on the dirty bum.)
