Description
The tomb and memorial to Sir Thomas Fairfax, one of the most prominent and skillful commanders of Parliamentary forces during the 1st English Civil War. He was a Yorkshireman, and is buried in his local church near York. A fine soldier, he was always for conciliation and disagreed so strongly with the execution of King Charles I he retired from military life and went back to his lands and tennants. A man who could be admired by both sides.
Location
Bilbrough Church near York, UK. July 2004
