Battle of Southam

Linda Doyle’s “Battle of Southam” was produced to coincide with a re-enactment weekend held in August 2013 and led by the Sealed Knot (the oldest re-enactment society in the UK, and the largest in Europe). The story told by Linda is based on Irene Cardall’s original pamphlet dating from 1992 and new historical research. The story takes the reader before, during and after the battle in 1642 and shows how the English Civil Wars had a major impact on Southam and changed the lives of people living there for ever.
