About Bosworth ⚔️

The Battle of Bosworth, fought on 22 August 1485, was one of the defining moments of English history. It marked the end of the Wars of the Roses 🌹, saw the death of King Richard III 👑, and ushered in the Tudor dynasty with the reign of Henry VII. The site remains a place of commemoration, heritage, and reflection more than five centuries later.

This historic setting 🏰 provides a perfect backdrop for a day of remembrance, reflection, and celebration of our shared heritage.
