		The Battle of Nantwich took place during the English Civil War, between the forces of Parliament and of King Charles I to the northwest of the town of Nantwich in Cheshire on 26 January 1644 (some sources say 24 January).
		Nantwich was considered to be strategically significant both by the Parliamentarians and the Royalists since it was a conjunction of several roads.
		It is seen by some as a watershed in the Civil War since it is thought that if Nantwich had fallen the Royalists would have been clear to march to Scotland to join forces with General Montrose, who was ready to combine with them.
