Getting ready for the Marston Moor battlefield walk on Sunday, May 9, are Russell Marwood, from the York Archeological Trust, and Joanne Smakman
A soldier from the 17th century will take visitors round the bloodiest battlefield of the English Civil War to raise funds for York’s St Leonard’s Hospice.
The Marston Moor Guided Battlefield Walk takes place on Sunday, May 9, and will be led by Russell Marwood, battlefields project officer at York Archaeological Trust, dressed in full uniform.
The walk has been organised by Joanne Smakman, whose family farms on the battlefield at Marston Grange, and whose brother-in-law, John Shepherd, was cared for by the hospice.
Tickets cost £12 for adults and £8 for under-16s, and include the walk and a cream tea. They are available from Joanne on 0798 4201498 or by emailing david.smakman@unicombox.com
