Pete has what might seem a very unusual way of selling incense. He is an “Historic Trader”, which means that during the summer the is to be found with Gracia at Living History events and battle re-enactments dressed in full period costume and running their incense stall as part of the Traders Market. Actually it is not quite as eccentric a lifestyle as it might seem at first glance, as these events attract large crowds of spectators In fact thanks to popular T.V. Programmes like “Time Team” there is now a tremendous general interest in anything historical As a result of this increased interest Historic Traders such as Pan’s Pantry are now part of the thriving Heritage business. As well as this, Pete and Gracia can present themselves as Living History Apothecaries of any period between 1350 and 1550. (Pete can also “do” early 18th Century). But be warned, We have a Dark Secret.
Pete is the current Chairman (2006-7) of the Historic Traders branch of the National Market Traders Federation
