Croft Castle

I’m posting this courtesy of the Mortimer History Society.

“The annual re-enactment of the Battle of Mortimer’s Cross (February 1460/1) will take place on Saturday & Sunday 10th & 11th September at Croft Castle, near Yarpole, Herefordshire. Croft Castle is owned by the National Trust. Normal NT charges apply but there is no extra charge for seeing the re-enactment.

“As the organisers say…..’Join us for a living history weekend full of gunpowder, battles, archery and swordfights, bringing to life one of the most significant battles of the Wars of the Roses’.”

It sounds an excellent and exciting weekend!
