BATTLE OF PRESTON

The Battle of Preston took place between the 17th and the 19th of August 1648 and was an encounter in which effectively ended the second phase of the English Civil War. On one side were the invading Scottish Engagers under Hamilton. On the other was Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army. The raw Scottish recruits, although greatly superior in numbers, were no match for the English veterans. Oliver Cromwell caught up with them at Preston and dispersed them in a series of running battles.
