What was the landscape of rural England like, over which many of the battles of the Civil Wars were fought? How did these fields and woods shape the armies’ tactics and influence the outcomes of battles such as Naseby which would alter British, and even World, history? And how different is the remaining rural landscape which we see now?
Today’s military historians and battlefield archaeologists are paying closer attention to these questions than ever before.
To discover some answers, Publisher Mike Gibbs, talks to Dr Mandy de Belin, Honorary Visiting Fellow at the University of Leicester, about the research that she has conducted into the historical landscape over which the decisive Battle of Naseby was fought in Northamptonshire on the morning of 14th June 1645.
