SUMMARY:Lyveden C17 Civil War Living History & Drill Displays
DESCRIPTION:Lyveden C17 Civil War Living History & Drill Displays\n \nStep back in time to the English Civil War at Lyveden. Experience Living History and Drill Displays bringing to life both military and civilian life during the 17th century. \nLord John Robartes Regiment of Foote are part of the Sealed Knot. The regiment will set up a 17th century Civil War Living History Camp at the Manor as well as hold regimental drill displays at the Lodge and at the Manor from 10:00 am Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th July 2023. \nThis is your chance to experience first-hand\, the thrill and excitement of regimental musket volleys\, pike drill\, with drums and colours and the full panoply of the 17th Century. Soldiers and civilians will be on hand to answer your questions of life during this turbulent period of history. \nThis is a free event as part of Lyveden’s civil war week. Normal admission prices apply for entry to Lyveden \nFor more details visit https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/lyveden \nThe National Trust property is now known simply as Lyveden and today includes the renovated Manor House. It is grade one listed and was owned by the Tresham family until 1649 when it was sequestered during the Civil War\, because of continued Catholic links. Sometimes referred to as ‘Lyveden Old Bield’\, the house is in fact newer than the ‘New Bield’. This refers to the garden lodge at the top of the hill and is a remarkable survivor of the Elizabethan age. Begun by Sir Thomas Tresham to symbolise his Catholic faith\, Lyveden lodge remains incomplete and virtually unaltered since work stopped on his death in 1605 \nVisitors are able to discover the mysterious garden lodge and explore the Elizabethan Garden with spiral mounts\, terracing and canals. Moreover\, wander through the new orchard\, containing many old varieties of apples and pears\, or explore the Lyveden Way\, a circular path through beautiful meadows\, woodland and villages.

SUMMARY:The Trial of Charles I
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 10th  \n1pm SOLD OUT \n3.30pm SOLD OUT \n6pm \nand 11th  February: \n10am \n12.30pm \n3pm \nAdmission: £12 Adults\, £10 Students/Museum Members \nLocation: Huntington Town Hall \nIn January 1649 – 375 years ago this year – a King was put on trial in London\, accused of treason against his own people\, an event which was radical for its time and has been controversial ever since. \nThe Cromwell Museum is staging dramatised performances recreating the tumultuous events of Charles I’s trial in January 1649\, held in the atmospheric surroundings of one of the historic courtrooms in Huntingdon Town Hall. \nWorking with members of the Sealed Knot historical re-enactment society\, using original trial records from the Parliamentary Archives\, the Museum has produced an edited and dramatised version of the trial\, which will be recreated with all the key figures including King Charles I and Oliver Cromwell being played by amateur actors. The script has been expanded and updated for 2024 to include much of the latest historical thinking. \nThe trial is an immersive experience – so whilst there is a narrator who will introduce and interject into the performance\, there will be members of the cast interspersed with the audience\, who will heckle the trial and cause some disturbance\, as the audience at the real trial did. YOU will be part of that audience\, as if you were there in 1649. \nThese events when staged by the Museum are widely acclaimed and very popular\, so book early to avoid disappointment!

SUMMARY:Ramsey Heritage Day
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey Heritage Day \nTroops from Colonel John Pickerings Regiment and members of the Sealed Knot come to Ramsey to commemorate the Abbey’s rich past and help you relive history. \nCromwell\, the English civil war commander who rose through the ranks from MP and would go on to be known as Lord Protector\, wasn’t the only Oliver in the family. His uncle Sir Oliver Cromwell had moved to Ramsey Abbey having sold Hinchingbrooke House to the Montague Family\, to settle debts – mostly caused by ‘hosting’ King James the first several times. \nOliver Cromwell (the one we’re used to hearing about) came to visit his uncle\, a supporter of the King\, and threatened to burn down the Abbey with him in it if a substantial amount of money and valuables were not handed over to him for the Parliamentary Cause. \n \n  \nJoin us and find out if the deal was done or if the Abbey suffered during these fractious times where brother fought brother\, nephew threatened uncle….

SUMMARY:National Trust Lyveden\, Northants
DESCRIPTION:Join Lord John Robartes Regiment of Foote from 10am each day at this intriguing Elizabethan lodge and moated garden. \nThe National Trust property is now known simply as Lyveden and today includes the renovated Manor House. It is grade one listed and was owned by the Tresham family until 1649 when it was sequestered during the Civil War\, because of continued Catholic links. Sometimes referred to as ‘Lyveden Old Bield’\, the house is in fact newer than the ‘New Bield’. This refers to the garden lodge at the top of the hill and is a remarkable survivor of the Elizabethan age. Begun by Sir Thomas Tresham to symbolise his Catholic faith\, Lyveden lodge remains incomplete and virtually unaltered since work stopped on his death in 1605 \nVisitors are able to discover the mysterious garden lodge and explore the Elizabethan Garden with spiral mounts\, terracing and canals. Moreover\, wander through the new orchard\, containing many old varieties of apples and pears\, or explore the Lyveden Way\, a circular path through beautiful meadows\, woodland and villages. \nLord John Robartes Regiment of Foote will have their living history camp  in the rear paddock behind the House.  With arena displays and marches from the lodge the history of your visit to Lyveden will be brought to life. This is your chance to experience first-hand\, the thrill and excitement of regimental musket volleys\, pike drill\, with drums and colours and the full panoply of the 17th Century. Soldiers and civilians will be on hand to answer your questions of life during this turbulent period of history. \nFor all the details and to plan your visit\, please see the National Trust website https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/lyveden  \n
