[This is a very difficult question. We should be glad to hear any
of our correspondents upon the subject.]
_The Battle of Towton._
The "Note" on the battle-field of Sedgemoor, induces a "Query"
concerning another equally celebrated locality.
It is well known in the neighbourhood, that the field of Towton, at
least that part of it which is now, and, according to tradition, has
remained pasture since the days of the wars of York and Lancaster,
produces two species of roses, which grow in stunted patches throughout
its extent. Has their presence ever been noticed or accounted for? If we
again allow tradition to give its evidence, we are told they were
planted on the graves of the fallen combatants.
