Hew Kennedy's Trebuchet

This is possibly one of the largest man-made trebuchets ever built. Hew Kennedy lives north of London on a huge estate. He specializes in medieval weapons and armor. But in his back yard, he has built a trebuchet with a 6 ton counterweight and an axle pivot about 3 stories above the ground. Kennedy used ancient Latin drawings to re-create this siege machine.
