The Sealed Knot 's re-enactment
of the battle of
January 1646 when Cromwell's Red
Coats advanced on Faringdon
from Radcot. The garrison in Faringdon
beat off numerous attacks by General
Cromwell, but as a result the town
was very badly damaged. The church lost
its steeple, many houses were burnt
down and over 330 families were made
homeless. The last Royalist commander,
Sir Marmaduke Rawdon, is buried in
All Saints Church.
