Towton 2011 - 550th Anniversary

Went along to Towton today to see what was happening. I was impressed by the setup. It was well sign posted and there was plenty of free parking. The £2 entry fee was well worth it just for the guided tour by Julian Humphrys.

Wargaming wise there was a display in the barn by the Sheffield and Rotherham Wargamers - using the Impetus rules. Me and the boy spent a few minutes watching the archers from both sides advance and fire.

As usual the re-enactors were happy to answer any questions (probably for the umpteenth time that hour!). The displays were excellent as were the commentaries that went with them. A lot more images here
