This board marks the site of the medieval ford where Thomas of Lancaster attempted to break through the Royalist line with a mounted charge. It stands beside the modern road just before the footpath that leads down to the south bank of the Ure — exactly where the ford once lay.

Aldborough is the site of the Roman town of Isurium Brigantum, and it is believed that the church lies on the site of a temple to Mercury. Two churches successively occupied the site before the present building was commenced, in the early 14th century. In 1318, the building was partly destroyed by raiders from Scotland, but it was repaired,[1] with a north chantry chapel added in 1333, and the north aisle dating from about 1360. The clerestory dates from the 15th century, the roof was restored in the 16th century, and the south aisle was rebuilt in 1827. The church was Grade I listed in 1966.
