New Model Army

The professional military force Parliament commanded — the New Model Army — was, if anything, even more fervent in its Puritan convictions and for the most part happy to enforce the new injunctions.

"For groups like us, it feels like home," said Justin Sullivan, lead singer of rock band New Model Army.

I got into it as a teenager – I would listen to bands such as Sisters of Mercy, the Mission and New Model Army.

Nearly 4,000 soldiers were killed during the fight, which took place on September 3, 1651, as the Parliamentarian New Model Army defeated King Charles II's Royalists.

Items owned by Sir Tom Fairfax, Commander-in-chief of the New Model Army, are also on show, including his sword, riding boots and a drinking flask given to him by Oliver Cromwell.
