Nigel Wheeler, Time Dealer

After more than twenty years of re-enactment across a number of different periods, I have turned professional to share what I have learned with a larger audience.

I found my love of history through fencing.  I started fencing whilst at university, and when I left University I joined a local fencing club and competed at county and international level.  Fencing then led me to fifteenth century re-enactment; where I learnt about normal day to day life of a common English man and also the military training for levy troops and a retained man at arms.  This in turn lead to an extensive study of old sword play from Roman all the way up to twentieth century Edwardian fencing.  Along side this I have also studied non military lifestyles across all these periods.

I have appeared in many stage, film and TV productions including Cromwell films and Blue Peter, and the BBC series "Filthy cities"
