13 July 1644: Royalist Captain Atkyns attempts to kill Sir Arthur Hesilrige, MP for Leicestershire, at the battle of #RoundwayDown .
'I'm sure I hit his head, for I touched it before I gave fire... but he was too well-armed all over for a pistol bullet to do him any hurt.'

The Siege of Devizes started #OTD 1643. Often overshadowed by #RoundwayDown , it is a great story and part of Book 2 of #DividedKingdomBooks .

Finally managed another run, it's hard work, but I'm getting back out there now the weather is a bit cooler. I think Covid hit me harder than I realised. #running #Wiltshire #Bromham #RoundwayDown
A beautiful day for a walk, with a view of Roundway Down appearing from the mist. We combined it with a litter pick around the village. There wasn't a huge amount, but there was still half a bin bag full. #VillageLife #Wiltshire #KeepBritainTidy #litter #RoundwayDown #Bromham
