Members of the Sealed Knot, a society promoting interest in the English Civil War, stage their 50th re-enactment of the Battle of Nantwich, a battle which took place near the town in 1644, in north west England on January 21, 2023. In January 1643, Parliamentarians took the town of Namptwiche (Cheshire's second town). By the end of December, the town was surrounded by Royalists and under siege. A Parliamentarian force marched south from Lancashire under the command of Sir Thomas Fairfax and defeated the Royalists in the Battle of Namptwiche on January 25, 1644.
