On this Civil War and Religion Tour, led by our knowledgeable volunteers, we will be concentrating on the first English civil war which began in 1642, exploring the role of Taunton castle, the town and Somerset during the conflict. We will briefly examine some of the causes of the war to give some context and consider what happened in Somerset between the end of the war and the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.Secondly, we will examine the role of religion in the conflict and visit some of the wide variety of churches and chapels in Taunton, exploring how the history of some of them is interwoven with this war.
Walking duration approximately 2hrs. Booking required, £4.50.
The tour will start at the Museum of Somerset.
