Citing Medieval Law, Men of English Town Summoned to Longbow Practice

The vicar of Collingbourne Ducis, UK, discovered a law on the books that allowed her to summon the men of her village to archery practice. So she did:

Church warden Mike Cox said: “It seems she’s still entitled to do that.”

“I’ve been checking on the web and most archery experts and clergy seem to agree she is,” Mr Cox added.

“Though a lot of the laws were repealed, that particular one still stands so she’s entitled to call the men of the village, and presumably the women and children too, to archery practice.

Those who attended were rewarded with beer, barbeque, and live music to celebrate the completion of the church’s new toilet.
