A Historical group is searching for a field it can use for a battle
re-enactment. The Black Maunch Medieval Society wants to stage a
recreation of the 1467 Battle of Derby. The battle was between the
Vernon and Talbot families squabbling over land rights, which resulted
in 150 people dying.

Toni Bass of the society said: "The battle is not a very well-known one,
but a lot of people died in it. We want to stage it over the Easter
holidays but need a venue. Ideally, we need a large field and also
volunteers to help with car parking on the day."

Anyone who has land that the society could use, or anyone who would like
to volunteer their services should call Toni on 0796 643 9492.
