Great! now that the Battle of Worksop is coming up to its 550th anniversary and I'm trying to get as many people interested as possible, someone's decided it would be a great idea to send our skull to Wakefield for their exhibition!
I suppose the only good thing to come out of this is more people may become aware of the skirmish but what about the people around here? Do we deserve to just give up our history quite as easily?
Not only have we had the indignity a few years ago of loosing the museum in Worksop but we now have lost one of our only glimpses into our medieval past too (Although there is a debate on it's age but that's not the important issue)!
If you want to see the skull it's in Wakefield Castle. Fellow Battle of Worksop fan Helen Cox has written a blog about her visit http://helencox-herstorywriting.co.uk/#/blognews/4539783941
