Battle of Nantwich
Past VerifiedHolly Holy Day takes us back to the seventeenth century and the four-year long first English civil war between Parliamentarians (AKA Roundheads) and the Royalists (AKA Cavaliers) loyal to Charles I.
The war broke out in 1642 and soon afterwards, in January 1643, Parliamentarians took the town of Namptwiche (Cheshire’s second town and important because of its strategic position on the road to Chester where Royalist reinforcements from Ireland could be landed).
