Sir William Ryther (c.1408-1475) taken from his splendid effigy in Ryther Church, Ryther (Yorks). William likely fought at the battle of #Towton in 1461. His inclusion in the Commission of Treasons on Dec 1460 and his Yorkist livery collar proves him a supporter of Edward IV.

A wide open grassy field, under a bright blue sky. There is a fence running across the foreground.
Part of the #Towton battlefield, this afternoon. It was bloody freezing, windchill through the roof. That sort of helped conjure images of conditions in March 1461. #Yorkshire
