Wasn't there a small ECW action at Yarm ?
Not so much a battle but did not the English army under Waltheof surrender to William the Bastard at Billingham after one of the early rebellions
Eric Bloodaxe's last battle was supposed to be up on Stainmore, up by Brough

I'm sure I was once told that there was a number of ECW scraps around the area. No evidence what so ever but I'm sure there'll be a little booklet publish by some random and obscure local historian.
Stockton castle was captured by the scots in the ECW but i dont know if there was any fighting involved
Try if you find any here.

Cheers for that, re atonement, for about a year afterwards you could still see the painted battle damage on some of the buildings

I thought there were a lot of battles all around Middlesbrough at chucking out time. as the blokes fought over who was going to buy which Lass her favours with a Doner Kebab - as according to Leon thats the going rate ;D ;D
Parmo and chips is the going rate
The Masham the night the Black watch walked in and told the Barman to take the Green Howards plaque down. :o

Masham was shut for a few days re-decorating.
happy times :D
