Stolen Helm
During our tour to Baskerville Hall this season we had a mounted
knight positioned at the end of the drive by the road side, when an articulated
truck and trailer (the driver being on the phone) mounted the kerb causing the
horse to rear and throw the rider, thankfully with no injury to horse or rider.
While the knight was trying to attend to his horse, a white Ford
Escort van pulled up, someone jumped out, grabbed the helm, and then drove off
in the direction of Brecon.
The helm (pictured above) is painted red and green to match the
livery on the knight’s costume, with a crest mounted on the top in the
form of a large white swan. The crest is unique and was especially sculpted and
encased in fibre glass. The whole thing is approx two foot high, and cannot be
replaced.
A reward will be offered for its return.
If anyone has any information about the missing Helm
Please contact Sgt Rob Bowen at Brecon Police on 01267 222020 and
quote crime reference no.
