Although it was one of the decisive battles of the Wars of the Roses, the Battle of Mortimer's Cross remains one of the least documented. This has led to many theories and much debate.

​

The Project was formed in 2014 to help determine a more precise location for the battle arena. Dr Glenn Foard, one of the country's leading battlefield archaeologists, led the search along with Professor Tracey Partida, a prominent figure in landscape archaeology. We now have an ever-growing group of enthusiasts and volunteers helping in this quest for our 'holy grail'.  A Heritage Lottery Grant funded the Project over three years. This was extended due to the delays caused by the COVID-19 restrictions. The term ended officially on 31st July 2022.

However, the search will continue under the auspices of the Battlefields Trust West Midlands and Marches Group.

 

So please join us if you would like to get involved.
