Hereward The WakeFeb 9, 2025
In 2021 we decided we needed a Hereward flag, banner or standard, particularly for the living history re-enactments. Nothing in the sources gave any description of a flag, although a standard-bearer is mentioned.
Charlie from Cantanware got in touch and we discussed possibilities, Lewis Kirkbride was also in on the conversation. What should go on the Hereward flag and which colours? The more you consider the more difficult it became.

At one point Charlie left the conversation 'I'll leave you chaps to it' - but we eventually got there with a flag that got the approval of living history re-enactors and others associated. It also gained the 'seal of approval' from Johnny Wake of the Wake family from Courteenhall, which was a great honour for the WakeHereward Project.
