Just had an enjoyable evening talking about this! Amazing how much of our understading of battlefields in England has changed so far this century. Follow @battleftrust for all things battlefields.

Great day walking the Battle of #Lostwithiel 1644 with @battleftrust. Good to see such interest in this nationally significant #EnglishCivilWar battle between four armies and a navy, fought across ten square miles over ten long days. Thank you – one and all!

On this day in 1645. Lord Digby & Marmaduke Langdale's royalists defeat 1000 parliamentarian soldiers at Sherburn-in-Elmet.
They pile the captured weapons high in the street & make ready to continue their journey to Scotland, to link up with the Marquis of Montrose ...

Second Battle of Sherburn-in-Elmet, Yorkshire.
On the same day a second force of parliamentarians arrive at Milford, south of Sherburn, commanded by Christopher Copley.
They include Robert Lilburne (John's brother). The royalists are eventually scattered & retreat to Skipton.

Powick Bridge remains in a very sorry state (see attached video). We are encouraged by @worcscc's statement (worcestershire.gov.uk/news/f…) and @myworcester's strong backing at the council meeting (see video from 1:04) youtube.com/watch?v=msjX9iy7…). #Worcester
