Bolton
Bolton Castle stands in its prominent position, guarding the landscape
of the North Yorkshire Dales unchanged in over 600 years. Many of
the castles in this part of the country are now in ruin or have
disappeared altogether after being plundered by raiding Scots or
destroyed during the Civil War, their stonework being robbed over
the centuries by local villagers for their own buildings and stone
walls. But Bolton Castle stands proud to this day, along with the
memories of the great family of the Scropes of Wensleydale.

Continuing
Battle of Bosworth Field
In 1973, the Leicestershire County Council purchased the piece of
land known as Ambien Farm, located on and around Ambien Hill, near
the village of Sutton Cheney. The Council began to develop a Bosworth
Field Battlefield Centre. The Council hired a historian to work
out the battle positions and tactics of the various participants.
Heraldic standards were being made to mark the positions of the
armies on the morning of that fateful day: August 22, 1485. Contributed
by Paul Trevor Bale. |

on a state of alert, when the Yorkist Edward IV was about to displace

Richard
III Society and the Friends of Fotheringhay Church
Until the time of Edward I, Fotheringhay was the property of the
king of Scotland but in 1377 Edward III gave it to his fifth son,
Edmund of Langley, who he later created the first Duke of York.
Fotheringhay became one of the principal seats of the House of York.
Richard III was born in the castle and Mary, Queen of Scots was
beheaded there. When her son came to the English throne as James
I he ordered that it be slighted and left to fall into disrepair. |

English local history images: (churches and cathedrals) mainly the
Midlands, but straying more widely. Including great pictures of
the parish church at Fotheringhay, Richard's birthplace.
The castle is now just a few rocks and mortar since it was torn
down by James I (because his mother, Mary Queen of Scots, was executed
there); the church is where Richard's father, mother, (and brother?)
are buried. Photographs taken by Dave Postles

Tewkesbury
Tradition says there was a Saxon Abbey on this site in 715. The
Abbey we see today was consecrated in 1121. Tewkesbury is a combination
of building works over the centuries. The roof was lowered in the
17th century and the monistic buildings were destroyed during the
reformation. The Abbey surrendered to the Kings commissioners on
the 9th of January 1540. Its possessions were seized by the crown
and listed on 74 sheets of parchment. Pictures by members Phil and
