After months of rising tension, The English Civil War finally exploded into life on the slopes of Edgehill on October 23rd 1642.
It was to be a confused and bitter business, marked by the foolishness of Prince Rupert and the Royalist cavalry, who left the field at a crucial stage of the battle.
As darkness fell, nearly 3000 men lay dead and the die was cast; the English Civil War would be no short and decisive affair.
