A Guide to the Yorkshire Battlefields by Graham Bell
This is the first publication to cover the great conflicts, that have taken place on Yorkshire soil, from the Battle of Brunnanburgh in 937AD to the Battle of Towton in 1461. The reader is given an appreciation of why battles took place, the nature of the opponents and the lie of the land. The reader is then taken back to the site today and guided around the battlefield, where they can appreciate some of the decisive moments of each battle. Helpful information is provided to readers, such as where to walk and where to view, as well as public transport and opening times (where appropriate). This book features the sites of Brunnanburgh (1319), Boroughbridge (1322), Byland (1322), Wakefield (1460) and Towton (1461). This is a book ideal for those who want to discover more about Yorkshire's past.
Graham Bell was born an only child in 1955. His interest in history began at the age of sixteen while studying for his history examinations, he eventually went on to study History and English at the University of Sheffield and Kings College, London. His interest in history led him to write articles for the Battlefields Trust and also saw him appear as a contestant on Mastermind, his chosen subject being the life of Edward IV. Graham is currently employed at the Post Office and and lives in Sheffield.
