In days of old

SHERWOOD - No field trip to medieval times was required for students at Emily Howland Elementary School to learn about knights.

All they had to do was come to the school's cafeteria last week to see a knight, straight from the Middle Ages, up close and personal.

Sir Devon of York, England, was in town last Friday in full armor to share with students the role of knights in the Middle Ages and what they did in the employ of kings or lords. With the aid of his squire Sophia, Sir Devon displayed the weaponry of knights.
