		Newbury was one of the few battles of the English Civil War in which an army attempted a wide outflanking move.

	The Newbury Bypass
		Newbury became a focal point of the nineties for environmental activists; protesters came in all shapes and sizes, young and old, and those demonstrating spread across all class divides.
		Although the battle at Newbury, long, hard and sometimes bloody, was finally lost; those who demonstrated can be proud that they brought the issue of road construction onto the agenda of the man in the street.
		The claimed reason for having to resurface the Newbury bypass is because of the special asphalt used to reduce the road noise for local residents which hasn't stood up to wear, undoubtedly, they'll say, because of the unpredicted increase in traffic on the road.

	1644: Second Battle of Newbury
		Donnington Castle near Newbury in Berkshire was of vital strategic importance because it commanded the road from London to the west, and also the road from Portsmouth to Oxford and the north.
		Shortly after the first battle of Newbury in September 1643, Donnington was garrisoned by Royalist troops under Colonel John Boys who strengthened its defences by building an extensive system of earthworks around the castle.
		The right flank was protected by the River Kennet and the town of Newbury, where a garrison was stationed; the left was protected by the River Lambourne and covered by the guns of Donnington Castle.

		Through wet, windy conditions, Essex's army marched doggedly towards Newbury, but Rupert's action at Aldbourne had slowed him enough for the main Royalist army to occupy Newbury ahead of him, blocking the London road and forcing a battle he had hoped to avoid.
		The Royalist army of around 8,000 foot and 6,000 horse was commanded by King Charles in person with his Lord General the Earl of Forth as his chief of staff, Prince Rupert commanding the horse and Sir Jacob Astley commanding the foot.
		Most painful of all to the King was the death of Viscount Falkland, his Secretary of State, who rode deliberately to his death on Round Hill, in despair at the horror of civil war.

	Berkshire History: The First Battle of Newbury
		During the battle, Essex lost a trained band colonel and a few officers; but Charles lost many gallant and distinguished gentlemen, chief of whom were the Earls of Sunderland and Carnarvon, and the virtuous and talented Lord Falkland.
		He entered the city in triumph, having fought a battle that was in all ways honourable to his army, whether nominally a victory or defeat.
		Essex, before marching off, issued orders for the burial "of the dead bodies lying in and about Enborne and Newbury Wash." Charles imposed similar duties upon the Mayor of Newbury, expressly intimating that the wounded Parliamentarians were to receive every attention, and, on their recovery, be sent on to Oxford.
