Twice in recent years the town

has been visited by the Sealed

Knot Society who, with over 5,000
members, re-enact battles and
conflicts of the English Civil War.

The only time in the former history

of Stony Stratford that there would
have been that many people in the
town would have been during the
actual civil war itself when 11,000
Parliamentarian troops were to be
billeted here on June 10th.1645
whilst on their way to the Battle of
Naseby which was fought on June
14th and bought the war to an end.
