A new exhibit at Newark’s National Civil War Centre is aiming to get visitors all fired up this summer. The replica 17th century cannon took up residence in the museum’s foyer last week after being rehomed from Colonel Richard Bagot’s Regiment of Foote, one of the oldest regiments within the famous Sealed Knot Society.

Our wonderful volunteer Rich shares his experience of becoming a volunteer at the National Civil War Centre.

Philip Moon reflects on his experience volunteering at the National Civil War Centre and the lessons and legacies of the 17th century conflict.
