        The village and Manor of Muckley is the SCA household of Sir William Talbot and his wife Mistress Amy Talbot (The artists formerly know as Talbot Mac Taggart and Freydis Haakonsdottir). We represent a 1380s manor and surrounding village in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England.


        Muckley is a small village in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The name is of Norse derivation meaning "dung clearing" or "dung field." When the Vikings found it must have been every bit the dismal place it is today. It’s first known occupants were in residence only briefly. Eric Bloodaxe, Viking ruler of the city of York ordered a military camp to be established to keep a lookout for approaching enemies on the hill upon which now sits Muckley Manor. This base was abandoned after less than a year when it was discovered that nobody ever went through this area. However, the camp was there long enough to establish a small village which remained even after the Norsemen pulled out.


       The village now consists of 18 (more or less) squalid hovels a small parish church and the manor house. Historically the place was unremarkable except that in the late 12th century, King John and his entourage rode through the village and stopped for water on their way to the city of York. To this day the well bears the name of "King John’s Well." Not much else of note has happened in this village. A few minor skirmishes have happened near the village, most of them taking place before the Talbots came to these parts, in the civil war between King Stephen and the Empress Maude.
