This web site is regularly updated and is a wealth of information about the civil war period. I have focused on Lord Molyneux because little is known of this, the second richest man in Lancashire in the seventeenth century. Like many others before and after him, he risked all for his religious faith and loyalty to the crown.
The emphasis of our site is on stimulating interest in our period. We hope you will find this website interesting. Because the information is so frequently updated, please check out this site as often as you can. If you are writing a history project about our period, you will find many resources already on the history pages. We have examples of prices people paid for food and other goods, and the coins they paid for them with.There is even a full diary copied out from two years of the civil war, written by a Royalist trooper. We have descriptions of some of the battles that took place and also some poetry from the period. There are lots more being prepared of course, and you can make suggestions about what you would like to be included by e-mailing info@molyneuxs.com . Good information is already provided elsewhere on the web so there are hyperlinks to them on the 'Links' page too. There are many pictures on the site and they are all of the Sealed Knot or the English Civil War Society, both of which I am a member.
We are keen historians who have a special interest in the English Civil War when the kingdom was split, even within families, into warring factions. The Molyneux family however were wholly royalist and suffered considerably for this commitment.
Many of the pictures on this website are taken at Sealed Knot or English Civil War Society events. If you would like to join either of these organisations, you may be interested in the information that is provided on these pages.
The information contained here is far less than even one percent of that which I have on paper. Every time I subscribe something (copy paste being useless with C17 text) I find more. If there is anything you need; I can send it to you in the post if you pay for the copying and the postage: I ask for nothing more, except perhaps a little patience when awaiting the copies.
If there is anything you think should be included on the site; please don't hesitate to let me know.
