THE BIG BANG!
THE 1646 CIVIL WAR STREET
Walk the streets of Torrington on the night of the last major battle of the English Civil War on February 16th 1646.
Hear the approach of the Parliamentarian army, the sounds of battle raging through the town and, if you’re feeling
brave, there’s something exciting you can do…
15000
Royalist and Parliamentarian soldiers fighting through the streets of Torrington… who was in command and who was about to become very famous indeed?
65
bodies of prisoners in the burial mound… who were they?
1
church destroyed when the barrels of gunpowder stored inside exploded… but who did it?
