More than just Towton
The battlefield of Towton sits within a beautiful and historic landscape.
At the southern edge of the battlefield is the village of Saxton where, in the grounds of All Saint’s Church, you will find the tomb of Lord Dacre (a Lancastrian lord who was killed during the battle) and also the Towton Memorial.
Just a mile or so away is Lead Church, now the sole remnant of what was once a thriving medieval village and across the road from the Crooked Billet public house.
