England is certainly covered with a lot of interesting history.

I know of a Redermer field could of originally been redeemer field similiar to Redemoor there is a redmoor lane near me all these are in the lincs/ cambs Fens. Strange but true this redermer field is next to a field called Hornfield on the cambs /Lincs border Tydd St Giles/ Tydd St Mary, Thomas De La Launde had a manor hall; in Tydd st mary i did see a reference to a cote/gore field and a Willoughby's corner there a lot of these battles had lots of Flemish and German and french mercenaries i think it was a proxy war. Considering the high number of combatants at Towton i can only guess there must of been a lot of mercenaries taking part. They might of been arriving at the battle sites by boat with their artillery? Even King John had a load of Belgian knights when crossing the Wash
