This will be a historical talk about this topic from Greg Archer, who is an established authority on this and related topics and is co-chair of the Mercia Region of the Battlefields Trust.
Many will be familiar with places such as Shakespeare's Stratford, the magnificent Warwick Castle and other well known sites around Warwickshire. What is less known is the part that many of these places played during the tumultuous years of 1642-46 during the English Civil War. In the first part of this talk Gregg Archer will talk about the military events of the war within the county of Warwickshire and their significance within the wider conflict. Using the Warwickshire Loss Accounts, and other sources, in the second part he will talk about what was happening in the Bulkington Parish and the local area and what the information can tell us about the people who were living there at the time and the events they witnessed.
