    WORFIELD IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY (PART 2) This article is not specifically linked to Worfield but since the events described were of such national importance, happened so locally and must have involved the parish, I hope you will forgive this diversion. There is another reason for telling this story – it is a fantastic tale and who better to tell it than a parishioner who is a descendant of one of the key families involved The first English Civil War ended in 1646. King Charles 1 surrendered to the Scots but unfortunately for Charles the Scots made a deal with Parliament and the King was handed over to Parliament. In 1648 there was a second Civil War organised by the King from his prison on the Isle of Wight. This was soon put down by Oliver Cromwell. King Charles 1 was beheaded on 30th January 1649 for treason. The treasonable offence was waging war on his own people. England became a republic and was ruled as a Commonwealth by Oliver Cromwell until his death in 1658. There was a third Civil War in 1651 when King Charles 11 attempted to regain the throne, with the help of the Scots. The war began and ended with Charles' defeat at the Battle of Worcester on 3rd September 1651 and that is where this story begins. Charles was a brave soldier and reluctant to admit defeat. He urged his followers to fight, even as they were throwing down their arms. He rode up and down among them, shouting, “I had rather you would shoot me, than keep me alive to see the sad consequences of this fateful day.” But it was a lost cause.
