Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Battle of Winceby Here, on the 11 October 1643, a close quarters battle, which lasted for half-an-hour, ended with the massacre of fleeing Loyalists, who were cut down by the pursuing Parliamentarians.
Courtesy of local farmer Gerald Enderby, the commemoration was held at what is thought to be the centre of the historic battlefield on the exact 360th anniversary, down to the actual hour itself. It was organised by EventPlan on behalf of the Friends of Bolingbroke Castle and Heritage Trust of Lincolnshire, featuring a talk about the battle by respected Lincolnshire historian David Robinson, tactical displays by members of the English Civil War Society, parade and wreath-laying by the Chairman of the 'Friends', Steve Lumb. Betty Brammer, author of 'Winceby and the Battle', was also present, as was a descendant of one the original villagers present at the time of the battle, and a large number of onlookers. |
