Filling In The Bayeux Tapestry's Gaps
Stamford Bridge, near York, was the site of one of the bloodiest battles of 1066, when the English took on the Vikings of Norway.
After a bloody and horrific battle, an army led by King Harold Godwinson repelled the Norwegian invaders, with their King Harald Hardrada and his ally, the English king's brother Tostig Godwinson, both killed.
It's traditionally been seen as symbolising the end of the Viking Age.
But it all seems to have been rather forgotten about. And the residents have decided to do something about it.
