Stamford Bridge lies about seven miles west of York and is famous for the battle there in 1066 which paved the way for the conquest. The new village bridge dates from the eighteenth century and the eleventh century victory is celebrated in the village each year with the baking of a pie in the shape of a wash-tub. Such a tub is reputed to have taken part in the battle.

Nearby York was one of the countries most important cities in Roman times and Constantine the Great was proclaimed emperor here in the early fourth century. It later became the capital of the Saxon Kingdom of Deira, was later sacked by the Normans, then a great medieval city and finally a famous university city attracting millions of tourists every year.
