Marston Moor 1969

Thanks to David Wilton SK for finding this chunk of nostalgia
A second Battle of Marston Moor - a re-enactment of the key battle of the Civil war over three hundred years ago, when the Royalists were routed. The 1969 battle was fought in intense heat and period costume - alas, with the same result. It was all part of the York Festival.
