England has been at peace for as long as most people can remember -
but there are still battles being waged in its towns and villages.
Nearly 400 years ago Sir Jacob Astley set out for Oxford from the
town of Bridgnorth with a small army raised from Wales and the
West. He was the king's last hope in a disastrous civil war. But
Astley did not reach the Royalist capital. His force was attacked
by Parliamentarian forces near to Stow on the Wold where the
survivors were locked in the local church and where blood fl owed
through the streets. In today's battles there is little or no
bloodshed - though blood pressure sometimes runs dangerously high.
In this book, the historic Battle of Stow provides the backcloth to
the battles of today - battles that are taking place in many
communities across the country. These are the battles waged between
residents and their politicians, between ordinary people and big
business, between the locals and the incomers, between those with
roots and those who are just passing through. Here the foot
soldiers are more likely to wield a pen or placard versus the pike
or musket of the seventeenth century.
