Film Clip: Casting a Badge
In this video, Colin Torode of Lionheart Replicas casts a handmade replica of a pilgrim souvenir showing Saint Thomas Becket inside a capital 'T' (one of many designs sold to Canterbury pilgrims). Witnessing the casting process illustrates the speed and efficiency badges could be made with and how they would have sparkled on stalls when new, attracting the custom of all kinds of pilgrims.
This film clip was made by the Digital Pilgrim Project (supported by the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art).
