Heritage Our Year Talk

About

With the Yorkist victory at Towton in March 1461, the House of York and Edward IV should have been secure on the throne. However, the next 10 years would see the throne change hands twice! Discover the key events of 1461-71 that led to the ‘Yorkist Civil War’.


This talk is for adults (16+) and is free; however, booking is recommended as places are limited.


Please be aware this event will take place in the Visitor Centre at Pontefract Castle.
