Naseby Anniversary Event
Opening The Steven Harrison Memorial Bench
We gathered at Sulby Hedges to remember our good friend Steven Harrison who passed away last year. His family and friends have raised a collection which has paid for a bench to be installed at Sulby Hedges looking back at the Parliamentary lines, exactly aligned with the position that Hammond's Regiment took in 1645. In future we will be able to spend some time at that spot and remember our good friend. Steven Harrison - A Craftsman and a Gentleman. Always Remembered.
Naseby Anniversary Event
Commemorating the Battle of Naseby 1645
A few members of Hammond's Regiment broke away from the main camp and laid a wreath in remembrance of the fallen of the battle in 1645. One of our younger members laid the wreath bringing the importance of remembrance to another generation. All photographs are the copyright of Rusty Aldwinckle.
Naseby Anniversary Event
Opening The Sulby Hedges Viewing Platform
This was a very enjoyable event despite the weather! We supported Benefactor's Day arranged by the Naseby Battlefield Project, and arranged a Living History Camp, and soldiers to form an Honour Guard for their distinguished guests. The Opening Ceremony was conducted by Lord Naseby and the viewing platform opened by Lieutenant-General Jonathon Riley, Director General & Master of the Armouries.
