Welcome to Knights of Avalon

I started Knights of Avalon in 1999 at that time my reference books on lead figures were well use, but many times I found them lacking, the photographs were sometimes poor quality often too small and mostly in black and white. My main interest was Timpo Round Table Knights and their correct naming, but the site took on a life of its own and grew. It now has hundreds of pages and gets about 500 visitors a day . I add to this site constantly, all area get new pictures when they become available, often thought fellow collectors generously sending me pictures from their collections.The site now also contains hundreds of pictures of toy,cowboys,Indians, and many lead figures from British makers from the 50’s alongside the knights.Thank you for visiting...

Lead and plastic figures by manufacturer.

Toy knights and Cowboy and Indian identification pages.

Photographs and info on my favourite knight manufacturers from the past and present time.

Arthurian Legend. I have a great love of King Arthur and all collectibles, films, stamps, coins, china etc connected with this legend and naturally there is a list of model Arthurian Knights past and present I think are worth collecting

My history interests. Simon de Montfort. As I was born in Warwickshire I have always had an interest in this fascinating owner of Kenilworth Castle. I don't construct many model knights but because of the lack of commercially available knights he is one of my favourite subjects. We are also very lucky in having a very active Simon de Montfort Society in Evesham the site of his last battle in 1265
