There is much discussion about the time that it took for news and armies to travel in 1066 so I decided to try a little experiment. Dressed in clothing appropriate to the time and following a route that existed then, I set out from the south bank of the Humber on Sunday 23rd September 2007. My plan was to see how quickly I could get to Waltham Abbey where I might have expected to be able to communicate the news of the defeat of the northern earls to king Harold as the Abbey was a foundation of the Godwinson family.
