Heritage Weekend

Thanks to everyone who came on our tour of Sandal Castle this morning when we discussed the history of the castle, the origins of the Wars of the Roses, and the Battle of Wakefield in particular. You were a fantastic group and thanks so much for the great feedback at the end, including the potential to be invited onto Radio Leeds to discuss this story. We would obviously be delighted to take up that opportunity. We hope to see many of you tomorrow when we will be at Pontefract Castle, in the Visitor Centre from 2.00pm giving a talk on ‘Famous Prisoners of Pontefract Castle’.
