The Marston Moor Guided Battlefield Walk on Sunday, May 9, will be led by Russell Marwood, battlefields project officer at York Archaeological Trust, in full uniform.

The walk has been organised by Joanne Spakman, whose family farms on the battlefield at Marston Grange, to raise funds for St Leonard's Hospice, which cared for her brother-in-law John Shepherd.
