The county was contested during the First Civil War of 1642-6 and also saw armed conflict on a smaller scale during the Second Civil War of 1648. This detailed study provides a comprehensive bipartisan analysis of military endeavour, in terms of organisation and of the engagements fought. Drawing on numerous primary sources, it explores: leadership and administration; recruitment and the armed forces; military finance; supply and logistics; and the nature and conduct of the fighting.

Approx Words: 790 Saturday 6 April (Field Meeting): Quaternary of the Severn Valley in Shropshire, led by David Pannett (Shropshire Geological Society). Geolo Soc (WMRG) members joined the Black Country Geological Society for the start of their 2019 field meeting season. This field visit was an exploration of the Quaternary glacial development of the Severn Valley, Shropshire between Bicton to the east and Melverley in the west. Conditions were cold and clear when we met Dave Pannet at Lyth Hill car park for 10:30. The views from Lyth Hill northwest hinting at what the day would reveal. From Lyth Hill summit we travelled in convoy down to Bicton and Dave’s house for coffee and an introduction to the day’s adventure. A retired teacher, Dave had many helpful handouts and props to illustrate precisely what features we would see and what mechanisms produced them. From Bicton we generally followed the course of the River Severn northwest to Montford Bridge and Shrawardine (and Shrawardine Castle) before ending up at Melverley after lunch. During the last (Devensian) Ice Age an ice tongue from the North Wales Ice Cap (the Severn Valley Glacier) carved a course to Bicton. During its advance and eventual withdrawal, it left numerous sedimentary features behind hinting at its passing. At Bicton, an elevated roughly north-south curving ridge or terminal moraine, kettle holes and variable clay to sand rich soils define the Glacier’s eastern most extent around 20,000 years ago before it began to retreat.

    ISSN 1750-855X (Print) ISSN 1750-8568 (Online) The Ice Age Legacy in North Shropshire 1 David Pannett PANNETT, D. (2008). The Ice Age Legacy in North Shropshire. Proceedings of the Shropshire Geological Society, 13, 86–91. An ‘arctic’ landscape has been unveiled in North Shropshire by geologists, making it an ideal area in which to demonstrate the role of Ice Ages in the origin of our landscape. The classification of glacial deposits on published geological maps is shown to have both helped and hindered subsequent research. Boreholes for mineral assessment, construction and groundwater studies have enlarged a picture once restricted to exposures in gravel pits and small river, road or rail cuts. Progress has been made by appreciating that glacial deposits are three dimensional systems produced in varied depositional environments. Patterns in the hidden surface of the bedrock are also revealed, as is the impact on local river systems. These aspects are discussed in relation to the evolution of theories concerning glacial lakes. 1Bicton, Shropshire, UK.
