Living history society the Sealed Knot staged the event, along with weaponry and period skills workshops and demonstrations, over two days, while there was also the usual beer festival at the social club, where the ‘warriors’ camped for the weekend.

The Battle of Edgehill took place at Edgehill, near Kineton, in 1642, marking the start of the English Civil War.
