I'm from Tadcaster and there is local stories Harold godwinson camped here before heading to Stamford Bridge, would of thought there must be archaeological evidence buried here somewhere, wonder if anyone has ever looked?

Should the Royal Armouries really feel the need to get rid of Prof. DeVries. Im sure the Royal Armories can find an apocryphal and rusty Iron Maiden, in a storeroom somewhere. We are only being polite, as Kelly's doctorate is from Canadian university.
