Woodville, a place steeped in history and tales of valor. All that was left of them, the remnants of the 17th Lancers near Modderfontein, stand as a testament to their bravery. The Gordon Highlanders, led by Piper Findlater, etched their name in glory with a victorious charge at Dargai in 1897. In 1939, it was the turn of The Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders to shine. They formed the Thin Red Line at Balaclava back in 1854 and continued to inspire generations with their unwavering courage. Even further back in time, Foot guards fought valiantly at the Battle of Waterloo. Their indomitable spirit prevailed amidst chaos and uncertainty. But Woodville is not just about battles and warriors; it holds stories beyond its military heritage. Elizabeth Woodville herself graces these grounds - her presence still felt centuries later. It was here that she first met King Edward IV, forever changing both their lives and shaping history. Amidst all this history lies another facet of Woodville's charm - white flowers blooming alongside green tea leaves. Thea bohea or Camellia sinensis adds an air of tranquility to this storied land. Yet even within this idyllic setting lurks intrigue - Richard III's shadow looms over his nephews' fate after Edward IV's demise. These mysteries continue to captivate minds till this day. And let us not forget those who charged into battle under cover of night - the brave souls from the 19th Hussars near Lydenberg on Nov. 7th, 1900. Their gallantry remains immortalized through time. Woodville has witnessed countless conflicts throughout history; one such momentous event being the Battle of Towton on March 29th, 1461. Its echoes can still be heard across these hallowed grounds.
