Just looked up. The crossbow law you may have mistaken.
Technically it is still legal to own and carry long bow. But not to use to hunt. The laws requiring Englishmen to train have been repealed, and carrying arrows must be safety tipped in public. So it’s not practical. But if you have a safe private space to practice (100m from public access).you do have a technical right.
But again carrying when. You are clearly not travelling to hobby shoot, is likely to come under offensive weapons act.
