Outpost of the New Model Army on the Eve of the Battle of Naseby by Ernest Crofts.
The New Model Army was formed in 1645 by the Parliamentarians during English Civil War, and was disbanded in 1660 after the Restoration. It differed from the other armies in the Civil war in that it was intended as an army where its soldeirs were liable for service anywhere in the country, instead of restricted to a local area or garrison. This meant that the soldiers of the new Model Army would be full time professional soldiers instead of part time militia. It was also intended that its officers were to be professional soldiers, not having seats in either the Houses of Lords or Commons. Here a Cavalry sentry is shown before the battle of Naseby, which would become a key battle of the English Civil War. On 14th June 1645, the main army of King Charles I was completely destroyed by the Parliamentarian New Model Army under the command of Sir Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell.

English Civil War Fortifications 1642-51 by Peter Harrington.
The techniques of European warfare were transformed during the 15th and 16th centuries by the use of gunpowder and by substantial progress in the effectiveness and destructive power of artillery. The series of conflict in the 1640s, known collectively as the English Civil War, was the first in the British Isles that reflected this new reality. Sieges aimed at isolating and reducing fortified places became the dominant instrument for prosecuting the war and protective fortifications were vital, for the besieger as well as the besieged. This title describes how both the Parliamentarians and the Royalists made use of new fortification techniques throughout the course of this conflict.

A deeply religious man, Charles I believed unquestionably in the Divine Right of Kings, that he was answerable to God and God alone. This view was deemed archaic and an attempt by the King to gain absolute power in England. His attempts to placate Parliament would throw England into civil war. The final years of the reign of Charles I saw England in a state of religious and political upheaval, arguably a direct result of his duplicity and procrastinating. Narrated by Michael Leighton
The chaos of mounted action is perfectly captured as parliament troops engage in the cut and thrust of confused conflict. The observer is drawn into the fight by the closeness of impending pain.

In the introduction, written in 1862, the editor of this publication states that it is a reprint of the original tract which is dated 1642 and is preserved in the Bodleian Library. He never saw another copy, though he admits that one or two may exist; it is, he points out, of extreme rarity. With the lists the editor has added one or two lines of biographical notes on those persons who rendered themselves prominent. This publication is the Second Edition which differs from the first in that Peacock has added four more lists of officers in an appendix, which, he says will be useful to students of seventeenth century history, and he has also revised the biographical notes, added to some and corrected others. The book opens with the Cavaliers, a catalogue of the names of Dukes, Marquesses, Earls and Lords that have absented themselves from the Parliament, and are now with His Majestie [sic] This is followed by a list of names of those subscribing to the cost of horses for three Moneths, .........

The story of the battles for the strategically vital town in Nottinghamshire is a classic example of how a siege was conducted during the long and bitter fighting of the English Civil War. The town was the gateway to the north of England and was the site of three separate sieges, as the armies of the King and of Parliament fought for control. In February 1643 the Royalists beat back the determined Parliamentarian attacks but the town then had to be relieved by the dashing Prince Rupert a year later. Finally, in May 1646, Newark surrendered to Parliamentary forces on the explicit orders of King Charles I, who in doing so sealed his own fate and condemned himself to the block.
