The re-enactment 'The Battle of Worcester'
September 2001

The re-enactment will take place on the actual meadows, close to Powick bridge, where the fighting took place in 1651.

As a prelude to the event, members of the Sealed Knot Society who specialise in the re-enactment of the battles of the Civil War, will march from Gloucester to Worcester in period costume. They will camp before the event, with their families, adjacent to Powick bridge and will stage living camp demonstrations.
The Sealed Knot have advised that 1200 members will take part with some 1500 followers.

The land close to old Powick bridge is thought to be where many of the Scots casualties were buried after the battle.

The Memorial will be in the form of a Two ton block of granite suitably inscribed, It is currently being prepared in Scotland but in order to give it suitable surroundings by Powick bridge, donations are urgently required. We wish to have wooden post and rail surrounds with a gravel base, but as of the 27 July we are unable to order the work to be done as there are insufficient funds.

Our bank account is' Battle of Worcester 1651 - Scots Memorial'.
Any surplus funds would go to charity. Our treasurer is a Scotsman!
please be as generous as possible. 3000 dead Scotsmen deserve to be recognised.

The inscription reads as follows:

" In memory of the thousands of Scots, Highland and Lowland, who fought here far from home, so well and so bravely, against insuperable odds and gave their lives in devoted loyalty, to each other and to their leaders."
