Full description
The cavalry action at Winceby took place on the 11th of October 1643. A strong body of horse and dragoons commanded by Sir John Henderson, riding to the relief of Bolingbroke Castle, were engaged and driven back by a Parliamentarian force that included Cromwell. Although the fight lasted only about half an hour, the consequences of the dramatic defeat was the loss of all Lincolnshire to the Royalist cause.
