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. https://t.co/NUGXEGP1Da

@Warwalks it's been widespread so far on wiki pages and the like it's now accepted as the truth 😐

[Lord Hopton's @LordHoptons]

Doing some research into field signs in the #EnglishCivilWar and came across this google 'quick answer' ok parts are true but always hate this stereotype of all #royalists being flamboyant and all #Roundheads being serious and simply clothed. #17thcentury #PIkeandShot #History

@tomb1649 Oh no! I have to congratulate him on his very fancy - boot stocking combination.

[Lord Hopton's @LordHoptons]

@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? 😝

[Bishop Bray @BishopBray]

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.

@Sealed_Knot @EnglishCivilWar @17thCenturyLady @historyenact @PonteCastle @PontefractUK @FriendsNCWCN @civilwarcentre @MuseumCromwell I like the characters page the most, especially the gong farmer, looks great!

@Jamielear1 @MuseumCromwell @NasebyBattle @DaventryDC Pieter Snayers 1592-1667 born in Antwerp and was famous for this sort of panoramic battle scene.

[Lord Hopton's @LordHoptons]

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.

@civilwarcentre We can't wait to get back on the field, only a week to go!

[Lord Hopton's @LordHoptons]

@PeterTurvey @MTCwilts Because he is a REBEL

[Lord Hopton's @LordHoptons]

@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 😝

[Lord Hopton's @LordHoptons]

@JohnWeinert1 Hello there

[Lord Hopton's @LordHoptons]

@EnglishCivilWar I would turncoat if I became king/protectorate of the other side

[Lord Hopton's @LordHoptons]

Hoptons & friends marching through the village of Cheriton to commemorate the battle that took place there during the English Civil War. We also laid a wreath to remember the fallen of more recent wars #EnglishCivilWar #memorial #Hampshire #reenactment #history #Renaissance #Pike
