Planning permission has been granted to build a car test track on the #bosworth battlefield, this will destroy archaeology and ruin the site of a historically famous #waroftheroses battle. Please sign the petition to prevent this from taking place. bit.ly/2LBUkf6

@LordHoptons Unfortunately, Google (the web) is full of historical stereotypes and myths, replicated by wiki's. The more than one source rule doesn't work either because the basic errors are just copied everywhere. 😒 We need a #17thCentury fact kite mark!

@1stAlterations @Oldwargamer We still do it, I was 14 when I first joined the pike block, 19 now and still love it. Are you interested in getting back involved? 😝

@Oldwargamer It was. To see the armies lined up,banners flying,cannons and cavalry charging you was inspiring frightening & an adrenaline rush! Stretchered off once with whiplash and passed out at Naseby when I went into a push wrong & stopped breathing! Good times.

The importance of the Civil War to western democracy cannot be underestimated - yet few of our towns and cities make anything of their involvement in the struggle. So congratulations to #Newark even their litter bins show armour and siege coins, at the site of Mill Street works.

Brilliant to hear that last week @NasebyBattle was awarded £6000 by @DaventryDC to update the information panels around the English Civil War battlefield. Well worth a visit if you haven't been already. I love how the council is supporting such an important part of UK history.

@JohnWeinert1 Not happy Ollie Cromwell was a pretender, I go to a march with 300 other volunteers in London to commemorate his death every year, does anyone do that for Cromwell, I don't think so 😝
