The Battle of Towton is described as "probably the largest and bloodiest battle ever fought on English soil", (Gravett, 2003). According to sources, more than 50,000 soldiers from the Houses of York and Lancaster fought for hours amidst a snowstorm on the battlefield, and a newsletter circulated a week after the battle reported that 28,000 died on the battlefield.
There are claims that phantom soldiers have been sighted here, some accompanied by their horses.
