Fairbairn & Cyprien, A Traveller's Guide to the Battlefields of Britain, 1983, 28-29 Poor map.English Heritage, Register of Historic Battlefields, London, English Heritage, 1995- The official Battlefields Register Map with single page of text and listing several of the major references.English Heritage, Battlefield Report: Northallerton, 1138, English Heritage, 1995 The most concise and well informed of assessments of the battle, including various quotes from original sources and fully referenced.CEI, Battle of the Standard (Northallerton) 1138: Battlefield Landscape Report, English Heritage, 1994 Information on the battlefield landscape and related conservation issues.Dodds, Battles in Britain 1066-1746, 1996, 25-26 A very brief summary that adds nothing to other accounts.Clark, Battlefield Walks : North, 1995, 13-24 One of the more extensive discussions of the context, but a brief account of the battle.It is however a useful if brief discussion, as usual prompting more thought than most other accounts. Burne, The battlefields of England, London, Greenhill Books, 1996, 96-99 Burne only provides a brief description and no plan saying ‘So little is known of this battle and its interest is so predominantly ecclesiastical rather than military that is worth no more than a brief and cursory description.’, 96.But it is important as the first well argued, serious revision of the position of the action, as well as providing the best informed assessment of the battle tactics. Bradbury, Stephen and Matilda: The Civil War of 1139-53, Stroud, Sutton Publishing, 1998, 32-7 A brief account of the battle with an awful battle plan that distorts the little historic terrain that it presents.Bradbury, Battles in England and Normandy, 1066-1154, 1984 Essential reading for its brief but well argued review of military tactics of the period.Barrett, Battles & Battlefields in England, London, Innes & Co, 1896, 26-36 Bizarrely reverses the position of the Scottish and English forces.The works used in preparing this report are underlined:
