Lecture Reminder

June 24 | The North East turned upside down: Military activity during the English Civil Wars | 2014 BONUS LECTURE

FINDS HANDLING!

Phil Philo | Middlesbrough Museums

2014 marks the 370th anniversary of the Battle of Marston Moor, probably one of the most decisive and best known events of the English Civil Wars. The North East is not noted for other landmark events during this conflict but its people played a significant role during the wars. Phil’s talk will give the background to the conflict, particularly the first civil war, the armies, their equipment and tactics, and try to give a more detailed look at the importance of engagements fought, in particular at Piercebridge, Yarm and Guisborough early on in the war, to the later sieges at York, Scarborough, Newcastle and Skipton.

Kind Regards,

Spencer Carter | TAS Chair & eCommunications
