How did the landscape shape the Civil War battle of Naseby 1645?
What was the landscape of rural England like, over which many of the battles of the Civil Wars were fought? How did these fields and woods shape the armies’ tactics and influence the outcomes of battles such as Naseby which would alter British, and even World, history?

Today’s military historians and battlefield archaeologists are paying closer attention to these questions than ever before.
