Richmond and the English Civil War
Mid 17th century England was divided, some supporting the monarchy (Charles I) while others desired to be ruled by the Parliament!. Richmond, at this time, became the headquarters of the Scottish Army, (Parliamentarians)!. The local inhabitants suffered greatly under their harsh behaviour!. In 1660, Richmond rejoiced when Charles II was restored to the throne!. Late 17th century Richmond gradually prospered and the two main industries which expanded in the outlying dale were lead mining and knitting!. The wool, which came from the Swaledale sheep, was rough but waterproof!. The wool was brought into Richmond, the market town of the dale!. It was sold to buyers who passed it onto local knitters!. Whole families, men, women and children made the caps and stockings!. These were exported to areas of need, such as, Holland and Belgium, known then as the Low Countries!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
