A Beautiful Summer's Day in a Peaceful English Village | EBBERSTON, ENGLAND.

Join me on this lovely summer's day as we take a casual stroll through the historic English village of Ebberston in North Yorkshire, where the history books tell us there was once a bloody battle. If you enjoy this video please consider subscribing to the channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPUj1AkibgXXg_fLvSaM0Aw Ebberston is a small village located in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. A local man informed me the old church just outside of Ebberston sits on the site of the old Ebberston village which was abandoned after the Black Death claimed the lives of most of the village folk. The village was rebuilt across the road where it stands today. The earliest recorded name of the village is from the Domesday book (dated 1086) 'Edbriztune' meaning the farmstead (tun) of a man called Eadbriht or Eadbeorht. Ebberston sits on the edges of the Vale of Pickering, which was the setting for Lake Pickering, the largest inland lake in Britain at the end of the last Ice Age, which drained away inland leaving an enclosed area of wetland filling the centre of the valley. Northumbrian King Aldfrith (Aldfrid, Alchfrid) was thought to have engaged the invading Picts in a battle here in AD 704 or 705. Tradition points to the ‘Bloody Field’ as the spot where the battle was fought; the ‘Bloody Beck’ which runs along the side of the field ran red with blood after the battle. King Alfred’s Cave (also known as Ilfrid’s Hole) is a natural fissure or cave where he is believed to have stayed over night after being injured in the battle, before being conveyed to Little Driffield the next day. In the 1800s, a stone structure was built to mark this site. An old inscription, recorded by Thomas Hinderwell in his 1798 ‘History and Antiquities of Scarborough and the Vicinity’ read: Alfred, King of Northumberland, was wounded in a bloody battle near this place, and was removed to Little Driffield where he lies buried: hard by, his entrenchments may be seen.
