The Battle of Edgehill (or Edge Hill) was a pitched battle of the First English Civil War. It was fought near Edge Hill and Kineton in southern Warwickshire on Sunday, 23 October 1642. All attempts at constitutional compromise between King Charles and Parliament broke down early in 1642. Both the King and Parliament raised large armies to gain their way by force of arms. In October, at his temporary base near Shrewsbury, the King decided to march to London in order to force a decisive confrontation with Parliament's main army, commanded by the Earl of Essex. Late on 22 October, both armies unexpectedly found the enemy to be close by. The next day, the Royalist army descended from Edge Hill to force battle. After the Parliamentarian artillery opened a cannonade, the Royalists attacked. Both armies consisted mostly of inexperienced and sometimes ill-equipped troops. Many men from both sides fled or fell out to loot enemy baggage, and neither army was able to gain a decisive advantage.

Great day out good for a picnic

If you take a walk to the end of the Recreation Ground furthest from the town centre and then carry on over the little bridge over the stream, you will shortly see Lucy’s Mill Bridge ahead of you. This version of the bridge was built in 1934 but there has been a bridge of one kind or another here since 1599. Perhaps one reason for walking this far down the river is that, having seen the bridge, you can now cross over, turn right and head towards Holy Trinity Church, the RSC theatre and then back to Waterside and the town centre. A nice circular walk

A concrete footbridge erected in 1934; but a stone let into one of the side piers records the existence of a bridge on the site in 1599. Information exists for the bridge in the 17th century. The old bridge was apparently a wooden structure resting on stone piers. It was rebuilt in 1812 and in 1827 the passage was widened by the removal of one of the piers. It was again rebuilt in 1867.
