Bosworth Day – Richard III & the Markenfield connection: Tour of the Hall Thursday 22 August at 2:00pm

Join us on Bosworth Day for a tour of the Hall with a distinct Richard III slant. It is a well known fact (at least to us) that Thomas Markenfield was a Knight of the Body to Richard III. What we didn’t know until a couple of years ago, was that Robert Markenfield, his younger brother, was also (allegedly) involved with Richard III too.

Your guide will be Janet Senior, our Volunteer Archivist and author; she brings Markenfield’s Richard III connection to life. Followed by tea and cake of course. As part of the tour, you will also learn about the Hall, the Markenfield family and a little bit about the Grantley family to own and live in the Hall today.
