Stand and Deliver


This plaque stands in the castle grounds and informs visitors of the dramatic events that helped shape English history 360 years ago. The English Civil War lasted until 1649, when Oliver Cromwell became Protector of England and the country is ruled as a republic. This lasted until May 1660, when Charles II became king after Cromwell died and anarchy was widespread in the country.
