Celebrate local link to Agincourt

On Sunday 25th October, there will be an event at St Peter's Church, Wapley to celebrate an important local link to the Battle of Agincourt, which took place 600 years ago.

The Battle of Agincourt, part of the Hundred Years War, took place on St Crispin's Day, 25th October in 1415 near the village of Agincourt. The #wapley600 event celebrates the area’s links with Sir John Codrington, who was the standard bearer of King Henry V at the battle, when the English forces defeated a larger French army.

The event runs from 10am to 4pm, finishing with an evening service from 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm. For more information, see https://wapleyagincourt.wordpress.com/
