The DOOR

Tewksbury, May 4 1471

The Yorkists (YK) vs the Lancastrians (LC). . . . . Prince Edward (LC) and other Lancastrians took refuge in Tewksbury Abbey.

They were slaughtered.

The Yorkists came into the Abbey (which at the time was not consecrated/sanctified), killed, and left them there.

Nowadays, the abbey is a bit more peaceful!

However, leading into the Sacristy there is a door in which the inner side is plated . . . with body armour from the slain Lancastrians.

If you look closely, as we had the chance to do, you can see what looks like arrow piercings in the armour . . . .
