More about this scene
It is hard to believe that Lydney's streets once echoed to the sounds of battle. In early 1644, after nearly three months of inactivity due to a lack of money, supplies and equipment, Colonel Edward Massey, the resourceful Parliamentarian Governor of Gloucester, felt strong enough to mount a series of raids against the surrounding Royalist garrisons. One such attack was made against Lydney, where Sir John Winter, Royalist commander in the Forest of Dean, lived in the heavily fortified White House.
