Gruesome Tales of the English Civil War: ‘Civil War Heads’ Talk at The Hive

25/11/2024

A talk titled Civil War Heads will be held on Thursday, November 28, at The Hive in Worcester, organized by the Battle of Worcester Society. Led by Robbie Porter, the presentation explores gruesome aspects of the English Civil War, including the history of Oliver Cromwell’s severed head and Charles I’s final moments. The event, described as a “white knuckle ride,” will provide insights into these lesser-known historical details. Tickets are priced at £7, with discounts for members and students, and can be purchased in advance or at the door.
