The Battle of Worcester Society
@BoWSociety
Dedicated to promoting and protecting the fascinating heritage surrounding the Battle of Worcester, one of the most significant events in English history.
A king was executed, the monarchy abolished, and proportionally more lives lost than in any other conflict on British soil, yet the English Civil War is barely taught in schools. @educationgovuk why are we ignoring one of the most pivotal chapters in our history?
A nation on the brink: Join Jonathan Healey, Oxford historian & author of 'The Blazing World,' as he reveals the gripping true story of the months that led England to Civil War in his electrifying new book 'The Blood in Winter.'
