Dallam School may have closed its doors but Ye Newe Dallam History Podcast still records podcasts together!

We can't resist the glory days of the Saxons and as the people of York were forced to stay in and isolate by the Viking hordes of Harald Hardrada outside the walls, we look what led to this in the Battle of Gate Fulford and what came next in the Battle of Stamford Bridge.

See how the leaders of the day made clear plans and dropped them as soon as shizzle went down in the North - we are talking about you Dom... We have a features question and plenty of jokes and advice on where to find more information (on 1066, not on where to get eye tests).

Along the way there will always be games and jokes but mainly this is serious history. Well as serious as we get!
