“The Loss Accounts of Lighthorne in the English Civil Wars” by Ann and Colin Such

Friday 15th November 2019, 8 pm, Lighthorne Village Hall

Warwickshire was a “front line” county during the Civil Wars and the Loss Accounts, submitted by the local inhabitants, handwritten by the local constable, were a vehicle to express their grievances and losses suffered as a result of the wars and a means for the Government to hold its own soldiers, commanders and officials to account. Hear of the deprivations and taxes suffered by Lighthorne residents.
