Place to go: Church of Saint James, Sutton Cheney Title: Church of Saint James, Sutton Cheney Location: Sutton Cheney, County: Leicestershire Map Link: Show Map Access Details: short, level path Facilities: Description: Known as the 'Battlefield Church.' Review: A lovely little parish church, not much changed - apart from the top of the tower - since 1485. Richard III kept vigil here the night before the Battle of Bosworth. There is a memorial to Richard III, erected by the Richard III society, and there is an annual memorial service on the sunday nearest to August 22nd. You can almost 'feel' the presence of Richard in the church, and it is a place of pilgimage for many. Related Items: The Wars of the Roses Following the course of the Wars of the Roses...
