No, I haven't got my history dates mixed up - it's not a homage to the Battle of Hastings but rather a celebration of conkers!
Health and safety, may prohibit kids playing conkers nowadays, or they have to wear so much protective gear they can barely elicit a proper swing.
Why not pop along to wikipedia for all things conkering (health and safety concerns included):

The Conkerer was to be found at the following fine ale houses:
The Old Well, Barnard Castle
The Crown, Manfield
The Half Moon, Darlington
The Black Bull, Melsonby
The Bishop Blaize, Richmond
The Bridge, Whorlton
The Red Lion, Cotherstone
The Old Vic, Darlington
The Four Alls, Ovington
The Stanwick, Aldbrough St John
Croft Hotel, Croft on Tees
Scotch Fest IV
Enjoy!
