Ricardian Britain: Sites associated with Richard III and events during his lifetime

Many years ago, the Society brought out a booklet, ‘Ricardian Britain’, which listed nearly 90 sites throughout England and Wales which were associated with Richard III and his family and with the events of the Wars of the Roses. The booklet went through several editions and reprints, but unfortunately it has long been out of print. However, a new, enlarged, edition is being prepared for  planned publication by the Society late in 2006. However, as part of this web site, we will gradually build up a listing of a number of the principal Ricardian sites, beginning with the following:

Fotheringhay - the village of Richard III’s birth

Middleham – Richard III’s principal residence in the north

Crosby Hall – Richard’s London residence as duke of Gloucester.

Sheriff Hutton - where Richard III’s son is remembered

Bosworth - the site of Richard III’s final and fatal battle
