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.

  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.

  • EAST SHROPSHIRE CHURCH TRAIL I SPY SHEET (1 of 2) Tick the Boxes on the Left As You Find Them!
    EAST SHROPSHIRE CHURCH TRAIL I SPY SHEET (1 OF 2) Tick the boxes on the left as you find them! ALL SAINTS, CLAVERLEY - KNIGHT FALLING OFF HIS HORSE There are a few of these, all of them not very good at jousting! The paintings in the nave (the central part of the church) and the pictures look a bit like the pictures on the Bayeaux Tapestry, but they’re probably not about the Battle of Hastings. They could be about a famous Emperor called Charlemagne who had lots of stories told about him in the Middle Ages. ALL SAINTS, CLAVERLEY - AN ANGEL AND A TREE Near this tree you’ll see a hole in the wall at the bottom. Through the hole you’ll see an older part of the church which has been rebuilt more recently. The church is 800 years old after all and has been made bigger and repaired lots of times since the beginning. ST MARY’S, ALVELEY – SKELETON This image is part of a bigger painting done during the 1300s. It shows a woman, a skeleton and a man with a horn. The woman is supposed to be a portrayal of one of the Seven Deadly Sins (seven of the worst attributes Christians think you can have). The deadly nature of these sins is illustrated by the skeleton… and what he looks like he’s going to do with his spear! ST MARY’S, ALVELEY – SWORD SHARPENING MARKS The area around Bridgnorth saw a lot of fighting during the English Civil War (1642- 1651). The dents are supposed to be from soldiers, getting ready to fight a small battle, sharpening their swords on a wall.

It offers a diverse range of scenery: from the lakes and rolling pasturelands around Ellesmere in the north, to the gaunt moorlands of the Clee Hills, with their stark industrial ruins, in the south; the densely wooded scarps of Wenlock Edge; or the straight, sandy lanes of the north-eastern heathlands, with their large arable fields and ‘big skys’.
