The Battle of Cheriton - The English Civil War
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2020
- Today I meet up with Julian Humphrys who works for the Battlefield's Trust, and together we are taking a stroll around the fields close to the charming village of Cheriton in Hampshire. For here, in 1644, a terrible battle took place at the beginning of the English Civil War.

Julian really brings the story alive with his enthusiasm. An excellent account of the battle. Thank you both.
He does and did. Cheers.
Julian is full of passion, he's very good at story telling
Very Interesting Richard. I really hope that you cover more of these Battlefields with Julian.
I can only hope he will do more.
Julian is fascinating. Please let have more of this kind of thing. Great video.
I will try to twist his arm.
What a marvellous video-Julian is a tremendously enthusiastic teacher. Civil wars are tragically fascinating(another enthusiasm of mine if the American civil war). Lets hope no developers see this and thing about a vice shiny new build estate of executive homes with a really naff name like Waller's Field or Hopton's Retreat.
You have just given them ideas! :)
Nice fields. Nice snowdrops and crocuses. I am getting some snowdrops with a bit of yellow. May Bank Holiday. VE Day.
I enjoy and share your enthusiasm with battlefields of history. Love the energy 👍🏽
Fascinating! With the Saxons, Norman’s, Romans etc England is full of history. During a recent visit to Worthing museum I learnt more amazing things about Sussex during the Stone Age, Iron Age and Bronze Age. Exciting stuff! 🥳
We are steeped in history in this country.
Julian gave such a brilliant account of the battle that I was sorry when the video ended! Thank you both for such an interesting tour. I would love to see more battlefield videos please!
We are hoping to do some more together soon!
The Church in Alton is worth a look as it was involved in that running battle
I think it appears in my Crumbling Churches video, if memory serves.
Loved Julians way of describing history, he made it so enjoyable.
Great stuff.
Very interesting 👍🏻
Fascinating video, I love the history of my country
Thank you Jullian and Richard. I know this devided familys I often think about it.
So pleased you enjoyed the video
Great video about one of the lesser known battles of the war. Julian knows his stuff but gets it across well to a lay audience. Can we have more on battlefields from Richard and Julian?
I will do my best to get Julian on again, but he is really busy.
Enjoy your videos, Richard. I remember you and Julian talking a bit about Alton and the fighting there, and really enjoyed this One about Cheriton.. More battlefields, please!
I will do my best to get Julian back on - he is really busy.
Thank you Richard! What a great video. I hope you and Julian can do more like this soon!
I hope so too.
Thank you Julian. Every well done. Sounds a lot like our (USA) battle at Gettysburg. Yes, Richard more please.
I am sure there are similarities.
Excellent! Accessible, varied, good coverage of the battle. Would love to contribute to this 'series' if you ever decide to come 'Up North'. I should be pleased to take you round the battlefields of Piercebridge (1 Dec 1642), Guisborough (16 Jan 1643) and Yarm (1 Feb 1643) and any others within the remit of Battlefields Trust North East & Borders: South (Tees Valley & Co. Durham). Keep up the good work!
That sounds like a plan. Do keep in touch.
Great. Thanks for this one!
So pleased you enjoyed it.
Thank you Julian and Richard. I learned more in 15 minutes than I did when studying history for three years at school !
Very kind.
Excellent video Richard.
Thanks.
Absolutely fascinating, great video.
Thanks, Marq!
Really interesting; Julian certainly knows his stuff. The English Civil War is glossed over a little at school I think; it seems to jump from Queen Elizabeth I to the Industrial revolution so to find out more about this era in our history is really interesting.
I wonder what the pipes that the tractor was laying are for (8:12)
There was a lot of water pipes in the area.
Richard Vobes Regarding the pipes, my guess would be slurry spreading as irrigation is unlikely to be required at this time of year.
We were taught about the civil war, but I suspect it was somewhat glossed over because of lingering concerns over the whole concept of civil disorder between Crown and Parliament, and also over religious intolerance (thanks USA you took some of the worst of them!) ...the abdication of Edward Vlll had revived some of the more fundamental debates and these hadn't that long, (certainly within our teachers lifetimes), been put to bed...we were taught Royalists wrong but romantic and Roundheads right but ugly, but of course it was obviously a deal more complex than that...and it's revealing that by 1660 they're inviting Charles ll back after just a decade as a republic (albeit being referred to as a Commonwealth). Pepys is fascinating!
An extremely interesting movie. Well explained, many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it.
This was really a tremendous video, so interesting and informative. Please when you can do more like this. The fields of England, especially, have witnessed such turmoil that we should be reminded of the sacrifices people made, however misguided they were.
Thanks, Andrew.
That is very interesting, I find the War of the Roses a very fascinating topic. it's nice to see some of the major battle sites. I would love to see more videos with Julian, well done you two. great video 👍
I will ask him to do more. He is really busy.
Great film. Educational and entertaining. When the lockdown is over you must make some more videos of the civil war with Julian. Battle of Lansdown above Bsth comes to mind!
Yes, we do have that planned - more battlefield videos.
Great video,if I can suggest the little known Battle of Hopton heath for a future outing. The area is relatively untouched but unfortunately HST2 is going to run through it,so it's now or never
Great video. It brought back memories of the re-enactment I attended several years ago on that very site. The late great historian Richard Holmes was there that day giving a running commentary of the battle from a little portakabin up on the hillside, describing all the advances and withdrawals of each side in great detail, a bit like a sports commentator describing a football or cricket match.
Thanks. Richard lived just up the road from the battlefield at Ropley. He was President of the Battlefields Trust and is greatly missed.
Thanks, Trevor
Long live the king🏴
That was great Richard, Julian certainly knows his stuff.
You drive past or through these sleepy country villages and unless you know the history you would never know that these battles took place
Thanks for sharing 😊
Wise words there, Kevin. :)
Wow! So very interesting (you know I love the history vids!💓), but also sounded like a whole lot of utter chaos!😬 Have to admit (as an American) I don't know a whole lot about your Civil War. But much like ours, it sounded like neighbor & friends (literally sometimes brothers) all against each other. Not sure yet if I had any ancestors involved, but you know w/ all those knights & lords up every family line I probably did. More for me to investigate!!!😉
The whole country couldn't avoid it.
@@RichardVobes no no, I know they couldn't avoid it. I just meant the way he explained this particular battle sounded chaotic. Sorry, I probably don't always explain myself very well!🤦♀️
Very interesting 👍 would be nice to see what other villages or towns were caught up in it 👏👏
Yes, it would.
An area I know well and cycle and walk around. Long live parliament!!!
Great video
I wonder if Julian has any info on Edward Dendy who was seargeant of arms in the long Parliament for it was he who facilitated the trial of King Charles in 1649.
Hi Robert. Glad you liked the video. There's a usehul summary of Edward Dendy's life in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. It has a handy list of sources as well. You can sign into this using your library card. To be honest I use my library card for this more than anything else.
Thank you Julian
Thanks, Darren.
Good man!
My ++ Grandad signed the papers for Charles 1st head, but he was forced to by that wicked Cromwell.
Golly.
How interesting! Who was that?
Thomas Waytt, or Waite. Hi, I am always learning and searching, one did the Waytt rebellion, another War of the Roses, gone back battle of
hastings and so on.
British Civil War.
