17 October 1346 During the Second War of Scottish Independence The Battle of Neville's Cross took place half a mile to the west of Durham, England. As part of the build-up to the fight the English soldiers were treated to bell-ringing and masses being sung from the Cathedral tower and for many years their victory has been commemorated by the singing of anthems from the top of the Tower by the Cathedral choir.
