As far as I know the first reenactment group in the UK was the Sealed Knot, which started with an event staged in 1968 to publicise a book on the Battle of Edgehill by Brig. Peter Young. I first heard the term "living history" when the SK started demonstrating crafts etc. in a period encampment in addition to the battle displays. I think this was in the early 80s.
