I'm back and ready to rumble!
In two weeks time I will make the annual pilgrimage with hundreds of members of The Sealed Knot Armies to Nantwich in Cheshire to re-enact the 1644 Battle of Nantwich. Where we Royalists under Lord Byron we will have the unfortunate luck to have our Armie divided by a flood and so gave the Victory to the Parliamentarians. It will actually take place on the correct date this year, the 25th of January.
For details of the events taking place on the Saturday see
https://www.battleofnantwich.org/
As for me, I will be arriving on Friday 24th of January to give a talk on my new book
"A Farthing for Oxforde" alongside two other Civil War authors, Nora Carlin and Mark Turnbull. This has been organised by https://www.nantwichbookshop.co.uk/
It will take place at 7.00 at Nantwich Methodist Church. Hospital Street,
Nantwich, CW5 5RP Tickets available from the Bookshop.
Times of the re-enactment battle will be on The Sealed Knot page below. It's a chance to see what the 17th Century Armies look like on the March and on the field.
It also gives the Armies a chance to win the prestigious Rosebowl a prize for Drill and performance on the field, and it's usually hotly contested.
