History & Significance

A minor skirmish near Tibberton in Worcestershire in the aftermath of Naseby, representing the type of small cavalry engagement that characterised the final phase of the Civil War. With the main Royalist army destroyed, the war in Worcestershire descended into a series of raids, ambushes, and counter-raids as Parliament worked to reduce the remaining Royalist garrisons. Such actions are poorly documented but collectively significant in strangling the Royalist war effort.
