I know there are plans to commemorate (or celebrate) the Battle of Lewes next year (and no doubt we'll lave a special Harvey's brew) but why isn't it celebrated every year?

Why not celebrate everything that happened in the past, every year? Why bother to live in the present time or to plan and work for a bright and prosperous future when we can easily spend our time lost in the past?

Does anyone know exactly where it happened? Somewhere between The Priory ruins (or, as they were called at the time, the Priory) and the top of the racecourse?

Dunk = check out this link. I always thought the battle took place just North of Neville estate but looks like some fighting came into town.
