Description
Newark, 1642-1646: A Military History of the Town's Siege and Garrison
This new book provides the first comprehensive account of Newark's role in the English Civil War, a century in the making. The town's strategic location at the intersection of two major highways made it a crucial crossing point over the River Trent, earning it the nickname 'Key to the North'.
From the initial royalist garrison to the three sieges that took place, this book delves into the town's history, including the visit of the monarch and their queen, and the significant military victories and defeats that shaped the conflict.
