The English Civil War was one of England's most bloodiest series of battles, stretching across the whole of England and Wales and lasting just over 9 years between 1642 and 1652. Located in the historic market town of Newark-on-Trent is the National Civil War Centre, a museum dedicated to the histories, tragedies and hard-fought battles of the English Civil War, with exhibitions on King Charles I, Oliver Cromwell, Thomas Fairfax and many others. It's here where history and ghosts come to life, from the apparition of a Cavalier to a haunted painting that's said to cry.
