Outpost of the New Model Army on the Eve of the Battle of Naseby by Ernest Crofts.
The New Model Army was formed in 1645 by the Parliamentarians during English Civil War, and was disbanded in 1660 after the Restoration. It differed from the other armies in the Civil war in that it was intended as an army where its soldeirs were liable for service anywhere in the country, instead of restricted to a local area or garrison. This meant that the soldiers of the new Model Army would be full time professional soldiers instead of part time militia. It was also intended that its officers were to be professional soldiers, not having seats in either the Houses of Lords or Commons. Here a Cavalry sentry is shown before the battle of Naseby, which would become a key battle of the English Civil War. On 14th June 1645, the main army of King Charles I was completely destroyed by the Parliamentarian New Model Army under the command of Sir Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell.

Destruction in the
English Civil Wars by Stephen Porter
The destruction caused by the English Civil Wars was widespread and
devastating. Towns, villages, churches and country houses up and down the
land were affected. Indeed, destruction was so widespread that by the end
of the Second Civil War at least 150 towns and 50 villages had suffered
some damage, 200 country houses had been ruined, and more than 50,000
people had been made homeless.
This book is the first detailed study of
this aspect of the Civil
Wars and makes available the results of many years of study and research
of original documents and manuscripts in record offices and local history
libraries throughout the country. Much of the material has never
previously been published. The author conveys vividly, often through their
own words, the feelings of those caught up in the traumatic events of the
time, while also presenting a clear narrative and explanation of events.
Destruction in the English Civil Wars will be welcomed not only by historians
but also those with an interst in the effects of this particularly
destructive period of English history upon the towns and countryside that
surround us.
Book serial number BK26. Price £10.99. Paperback with 180 pages. |
