Have you ever looked into Carlisle’s Civil War history? 🧐

During the English Civil War Carlisle was one of very few places in the north that held out for the king after the defeat of his main northern army at Marston Moor, in July 1644. ⚔️

That October a Parliamentarian army quickly surrounded the city with guns and earthworks, and settled down to starve the city out.

In the following spring they were joined by English troops, and their grip on the city became tighter. Food started to run out, with people eventually resorting to eating rats! 🐀

After the Royalist defeat at the Battle of Naseby in June 1645, there seemed no more hope of relief, and on the 25th of June the city eventually surrendered.

The castle has undergone many renovations over the centuries, but perhaps one of the biggest construction projects came in the 16th century.

It was then that Henry VIII ordered a review of Carlisle’s defences, resulting in the largest building campaign since the 12th century! 🧱
