The historic grounds of Basing House came alive last weekend with a stunning event hosted by The English Civil War’s Marquess of Winchester’s Regiment.

Basing House, once home to John Paulet, the 5th Marquess of Winchester, was revived with the re-enactors transporting visitors back to the dramatic days of the 17th century, offering a glimpse of life during the English Civil War.

Re-enactors dressed as soldiers of the Marquess of Winchester's Regiment showed the tactical formations and weaponry used by Royalist forces during the Civil War.

The powerful musket and pike displays, along with the roar of cannons, filled the air as it offered an authentic feel of the battlefield atmosphere.

Another group portrayed the lives of ordinary civilians living under siege at Basing House.

From cooking with traditional methods to demonstrating crafts, visitors were given insight into how common people coped with the challenges of war and life in the 17th century.

The gallery of images captured the essence of this immersive experience, from the solemn faces of soldiers preparing for battle to the warm, bustling scenes of civilian life.

With its strategic location guarding the road from London to the Royalist stronghold in the West Country, Basing House was once a key target for Parliamentarian forces, resulting in its final siege and capture in October 1645 by Oliver Cromwell's troops.

Though now reduced to ruins and earthworks, the re-enactments brought the site’s rich history vividly back to life.
