Some of the things I most wanted to see on a recent trip to England was "the car park" and the exhibit in the Guildhall. While the Bosworth battlefield information center has a better overall explanation of the War of the Roses and context and actual battle, the exhibit here focuses on the search for Richard III and summarizes what...

There are some nice places to have photos taken which includes some of the main traditional features of the building. The staff were very helpful and friendly on... More
