The Forgotten Battle That Changed Lincolnshire
The Battle of Winceby, fought on 11 October 1643, was a pivotal moment in the English Civil War. It marked the first significant victory for Oliver Cromwell’s cavalry and the first action in which he fought alongside Sir Thomas Fairfax. The battle’s swift and decisive outcome led to the fall of much of Lincolnshire to Parliament and halted the Royalist ascendancy in the region. Despite its obscurity, the battle played a crucial role in shaping the course of the English Civil War and Cromwell’s rise to power.
