English Civil War Artillery Displays

Bring out the big guns!

Cannon really took to the field in the 17th Century with huge advances in artillery. New Cannon and shot designed to be more moveable on the battlefield and ammunition designed to target infantry.

Cannons were bigger, better and louder than before

 

Our cannon crews will drill step by step through the loading, ramming and firing of their cannons while the commentary covers the risks, hazards and lifestyles of the 17th Century artilleryman.

Each cannon on the field will be fired in order of size building up to rounding off the display with a cannon volley.
 

As with all Foreign Field Displays, all our interpreters will get involved with the public and share the experiences of England’s most brutal and divisive conflicts.
