At first sight the quiet green fields around the small Northamptonshire village of Naseby seem unexceptional. But look more closely and you find clues that a momentous event occurred here which was to shape the history not only of Britain but every modern democracy.
Because it was here, in just two hours on the morning of 14 June 1645, that a bloody battle decided the fate of a king and began a journey that would eventually lead to the constitutions which govern millions of people living in the World’s democracies today.
To learn more about what has been described as Britain’s “most important battlefield”, Publisher, Mike Gibbs was joined by Mark Linnell, Chairman of the Naseby Battlefield Project, and Civil War historian, Professor Andrew Hopper of Oxford University – a Patron of the project.
