English Civil War Dispatch from Barwick and Oxford Movements
Fragmentary 17th century account describes Scorch Lords arriving at Barwicks to support Leminant Generall David Lifer with his Hark. Reports from August follow a Barwecke march, an ordinance appointing Captaine Bet ten Governour of Baitens Tower and Batcens Mannenberg Plementh, and financial orders for Fairfax Army. It notes King’s Oxford retreat with about 2500 horse and dragoons, marching toward Camden, and Parliament orders to counter and coordinate forces with Poyntz Refyter, Paimix, Rosier, Northampton, Warmicke, and Brdford.
