A flight over The Chantry Chapel of St Mary the Virgin, Wakefield,
The Chantry Chapel of St Mary the Virgin, Wakefield, is a chantry chapel in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England, and is designated a Grade I Listed building by English Heritage. It is located south of the city centre on the medieval bridge over the River Calder. It is the only survivor of four chantries in Wakefield and the oldest and most ornate of the surviving bridge chapels in England.] Others are at St Ives (Cambridgeshire), Rotherham, Derby and Bradford-on-Avon. The chapel has had three west fronts, the original medieval façade having been removed to Kettlethorpe Hall in 1832. The medieval bridge is a scheduled ancient monument.
Wakefield had four chantry chapels, three of which dated from the 13th century. They were built outside the medieval town on the roads leading to Leeds, Dewsbury, York and Doncaster. The Chantry of St John the Baptist was on Northgate, the road to Leeds, where Wakefield Grammar School stands today. The Chapel of St Mary Magdalene was on Westgate where it crossed the Ings Beck on the road to Dewsbury. St Swithun's Chantry Chapel, on the York road, was near Clarke Hall. In the 14th century the Chantry Chapel of St Mary the Virgin was built on the medieval bridge across the River Calder on the road to Doncaster and the south.
Wakefield's medieval nine-arched bridge is 320 feet (98 m) long, was built in stone between 1342 and 1356. It replaced an earlier wooden structure on the site of an ancient ford.[8] The chapel on the bridge was licensed in 1356. The Battle of Wakefield was fought about a mile south of the bridge in 1460 and the Earl of Rutland was killed near the bridge while attempting to escape.
The chapel was used for worship until the Reformation and Abolition of Chantries Acts when all Wakefield's four chantry chapels were closed.[10] The bridge chapel survived because it is a structural element of the bridge. After closure it was used as a warehouse, library, office and cheese shop and survived bridge widening in 1758 and 1797. The bridge and its chapel were painted by artists including J.M.W. Turner whose watercolour dates from 1793.[

St Mary's Chapel, Lead 2011
Close to Lotherton Hall near Leeds.Near The Crooked Billet. Visit the church, it is really something.....
This tiny 14th century church, St Marys Lead, stands alone in the middle of a field. The bumps and furrows of earthworks in the field indicate the site of a mediaeval manor house, for which St Marys was probably originally the chapel. Only a short distance away is the site of the battle of Towton, the bloodiest battle ever fought on English soil, which brought the Wars of the Roses to an end in 1461. Ten thousand men are said to have been killed, and Cock Beck, the little stream which you cross to get to St Marys, is said to have run red with blood.
Despite its awesome history, St Marys is a peaceful place. It is known locally as the Ramblers Church, because it was thanks to the enthusiasm of a group of ramblers that the church was saved from neglect and decay in 1931. The repairs made then are recorded on the back of the church door.
The tiny rectangular building is very simple. It was probably built by the Tyas family, whose massive grave slabs are set into the floor. Carved with heraldic symbols and inscriptions, and dating from the 13th century, they are an important and interesting collection. Later additions were made to the church in the 18th century, with a rustic pulpit, clerks pew, reading desk and painted texts.

Battle of Wakefield Revisited
The Battle of Wakefield Revisited by Helen Cox deals with that the battle that took place between Yorkist and Lancastrian forces on December 30th, 1460. The book begins by introducing the three main personalities of the story -- the feeble King Henry VI, his wife Queen Margaret of Anjou, and Richard, Duke of York, who is given a very sympathetic and positive portrayal in this book. It traces the events which led to the hostility between Richard and the King, and the eventual outbreak of civil war.
From here Cox takes a careful examination of the campaign and battle at Wakefield, and on the many theories that have been proposed to why the Duke of York was defeated and killed. The author is quite good here in dispelling many of these theories and deciphering what the various sources are saying and not saying about the battle.
Cox then delivers her explanation on what happened at Wakefield -- she believes that the Duke was betrayed by two of his supporters -- Lord Neville and Andrew Trollope as the battle began, which allowed for the Lancastrians to surround and crush the small Yorkist army just outside Sandal Castle. The theory is by no means full-proof -- the source evidence for either of these betrayals is not large, and if events did turn out as Cox believes, it worthy of any political thriller novel. But historians should carefully consider some of the points she raises in this work.
The book comes with comes with several illustrations and maps, and while only 133 pages long, sufficiently covers the battle and its aftermath. For those interested in the Wars of the Roses, The Battle of Wakefield Revisited will be a good read and offer some new insights into its military history.

I managed to save this from a video I took of the Chantry Centre (Chantry Way) whilst the works were going on to extend, and modernise it. Some of these places are unrecognizable now. I have re-done this video with titles and some details of the recording. I do realise that the spelling of recognizable is incorrect on the titles. Sorry!

RICHARD III of ENGLAND - WikiVidi Documentary
Richard III was King of England from 1483 until his death in 1485, at the age of 32, in the Battle of Bosworth Field. He was the last king of the House of York and the last of the Plantagenet dynasty. His defeat at Bosworth Field, the last decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses, marked the end of the Middle Ages in England.

Richard III of England
Richard III (2 October 1452 -- 22 August 1485) was King of England for two years, from 1483 until his death in 1485 in the Battle of Bosworth Field. He was the last king of the House of York and the last of the Plantagenet dynasty. His defeat at Bosworth Field, the last decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses, symbolises the end of the Middle Ages in England. He is the subject of the play Richard III by William Shakespeare.
When his brother Edward IV died in April 1483, Richard was named Lord Protector of the realm for Edward's son and successor, the 12-year-old King Edward V. As the young king travelled to London from Ludlow, Richard met and escorted him to lodgings in the Tower of London where Edward V's brother Richard joined him shortly afterwards. Arrangements were made for Edward's coronation on 22 June 1483, but before the young king could be crowned, his father's marriage to his mother Elizabeth Woodville was declared invalid, making their children illegitimate and ineligible for the throne. On 25 June, an assembly of lords and commoners endorsed the claims. The following day, Richard III began his reign, and he was crowned on 6 July 1483. The young princes were not seen in public after August, and a number of accusations circulated that the boys had been murdered on Richard's orders, giving rise to the legend of the Princes in the Tower.
