Blood Red Fields. The Battle of Towton 1461

Welcome back everyone! Something very different here on the channel. Journey with Arrows takes a journey back in time as we start a new venture on the channel. On this episode we dive back into 1461 as we explore the battle of Towton, the most bloodiest battle in Yorkshire history during the war of the roses.

I went to Towton Chapel across from the Crooked Billet pub ( nice beer good service and excellent food for the price)
The Chapel is consecrated ground and open to the public 24 hrs a day every day of the year.
It is a small Anglosaxon style place and was once in the middle of a village.
It is well worth a visit.
The walk on Towton is a beautiful walk.
Incredibly scenic and tranquil.
Well worth a visit, and I go at least once a month and have done thirty years.

@@michaeldoolan7595 i couldnt agree more!!! Lovely place to be despite its history, and yes the crooked billet food and drink is great! Biggest yorkshire puddings i did ever see!. I am up there fairly frequently so may bump into you one day!

I hope we do brother.
I had a bow from being five years old.
I had three actually.
We couldnt afford bow strings so I ended up using old laces from my grandmothers corset.
I had pink bowstrings !​@journeywitharrows2742

14:53 ​​@@journeywitharrows2742What I'm going to say has no proof.
If you walk down to cock beck bridge.
It is a 300 yard walk down a narrow path.
The Chapel that Richard built is about half a mile away ( where the pits were found).Not Towton.
If you look in the Beck you'll see dressed stone.
As in window stone.
I think when the Chapel was demolished some of that stone went into the Beck.
I can't prove it.
However no one dumps fine dressed stone into a Beck to make a bridge.
It is very much like farms in Northumbria or my old family farm at Dipton near Conset recycling parts of Roman buildings.

Good video. Enjoyed it. One small criticism is that the memorial was erected in 1929
