Some 250 to 300 Sealed Knot members will recreate the original clash on October 23, 1642 between Parliamentarians and Royalists.

The aim is to give the public an idea about how the battle was fought, what armour and weapons were used and the context of the battle in relation to the Civil War as a whole.
