Some 350 years ago English society was torn apart by the violent dispute that erupted between King and Parliament. The English Civil War divided communities and even families against themselves and is remembered as one of the bloodiest periods of British history. Ever since, the war has been the subject of heated debate and analysis. One approach to the conflict that has become increasingly popular is the re-enactments that regularly take place across the country. Not only do these displays bring vividly to life the events of the time, but also, through their detailed attention to accuracy, they offer a glimpse of the realities of ife for combatants, their families and the innocent civilians caught up in the war and confusion of England in the mid-17th century.
