Stairway to Heaven

View On Black

Dating from c.1240, Sandal castle commands spectacular views over nearby Wakefield and West Yorkshire. It is possible this could be the location for children's nursery rhyme "The Grand old Duke of York", describing the Battle of Wakefield. These events formed the backdrop for Shakespeare's play Henry VI, part 3. Act 1, scene 2, set in Sandal Castle. Parliament ordered that it be made untenable in 1646, a year after a seige during the Civil War.
