Led by Martin Russell, the Vice President of Shipston and District Local History Society (this finishes at the local pub and members can choose to stay for lunch if they wish). Price: £7.20 WLHS members, £9.20 non members. Join Martin Russell, Vice President of Shipston and District Local History Society, as he takes us on a tour of the Edgehill Battlefield. The Battle of Edgehill, which took place on 23rd October 1642, was the first pitched battle of the English Civil War and took place in fields between the villages of Kineton and Radway between the Royalists, gathered on the Edge Hill escarpment, against Essex’s parliamentary forces gathered in the fields below.
The morning will start in the garden of The Castle Pub, which enjoys spectacular views of the battlefield. Assisted by maps and drawings, Martin will bring the battlefield to life and plot the course of the battle for us as we then explore by car and on foot some of the key areas in the battle, including Red Lane, Kineton and Radway.
