Annual trip to the Clubmen location of Woodbury Hill, Worcestershire. Sadly the information board is in a bad way.
Worcester is making history, again.. We are the first city in the country to bring the 17th century back in style. 16 student painted banners going up this August. Stunning, bold, and totally original, you won’t believe your eyes! - Worcester, the Civil War City.

#OTD 340 years ago, Monmouth advances to Axminster narrowly avoiding encirclement by the Militia. After a skirmish his forces secure the town. On hearing this news Lord Churchill complains to the King of the poor performance of the Militia. #FightingforLiberty1685 #OneKing1685
340 years ago, Whitehall receives news that Monmouth has landed. The Army is mobilised & an advance force is ordered to Salisbury, under Lord Churchill. This image made me realise everything I knew about Lord Churchill was fiction! Why? #FightingforLiberty1685 #OneKing1685
