They will briefly examine some of the causes of the war to give some context and consider what happened in Somerset between the end of the war and the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.
Secondly, they will examine the role of religion in the conflict and visit some of the wide variety of churches and chapels in Taunton, exploring how the history of some of them are interwoven within this war.
