The Battle of Wakefield

This is quite an old video, and so although the quality isn't up to my current standards, I'm glad that people are still finding value in it.

(** BOW~fort and St ALL~bans.) A fascinating narrative from a fascinating tutor. Well done.

Good job, Catherine! I'll be attending the AGM of the Battlefield Trust in York next month (April 2024) and will also make a point of visiting the battlefield in Wakefield(and Towton). You inspire me!

Having been born over sixty years ago, and raised, very close to where all this happened I find this very interesting and learned a few things. Great video. Thanks, and I think you will go far!

Well presented and well researched and location shots too, great stuff.

[frankydaulman]

Great stuff. It's not often I learn about a battle I'd not heard of, especially, embarrassingly one from a well explored period almost on my doorstep. Thank you for enlightening me. Nice, concise but packed with all the useful relevant stuff. Looking forward exploring more from you.

Never figured chantry bridge to be that old. Loving the videos.

A very good presentation, well executed and I would suggest this young lady has a future in historical presentation on tv.

Probably have to watch 5 or 6 times for it to sink in. Been studying battle of Towton and visited site twice this week. If I remember rightly, Richard of York gets his own back after Towton when he removes the heads of his father and brother and puts some senior Lancastrian heads on Micklegate bar as revenge. I know Micklegate bar really well. Surreal.

Thanks for doing what you're doing. If I can manage it I'll send you a fiver a month. Great work!

Awesome video
And I always wondered what that little chapel was on the water on the edge of Wakefield
Cool 👍

Liked this: good delivery, well-structured content (same as the one on Ferryridge), plain, straightforward style with no unnecessary hyperbole and melodrama - I'll certainly be looking at all your other minidocs. Minor quibbles - Beaufort is pronounced Bowfort (as in bow and arrow), and the locals pronounce St. Albans 'St. Orlbans' - but these are very minor - and you taught me stuff I did not know. Keep going!

Very good presentation of history .Amazing girl, wearing old fashion Hat and jacket . You have talent to showing this story to people who never heard about bloody battles of Wars of Roses.

[dannywray]

Another great video. I'm hoping for a Battle of Towton piece next. Keep up the good work.

[andreapatterson]

Fascinating! Even though it was so long ago, that cycle of revenge stuff is chilling. Thanks for posting!

[nigelbaldwyn]

Very well done, sure we'll see more from you in the future.

[abombtv]
