The Battle

History & Significance

Tickhill Castle, a Norman motte-and-bailey in the West Riding, was garrisoned for the King. Parliament besieged it after Marston Moor as part of the systematic reduction of Yorkshire's Royalist garrisons. Its fall removed a Royalist presence guarding the Royalist road to Nottinghamshire and the Midlands.
