The town saw some activity in the English Civil War. Troops from local garrisons descended upon the town seeking billets and fresh horses. A list of claims submitted by the constables of Market Bosworth to the Warwickshire county committee in June, 1646, reveals that Colonel Purefoy’s soldiers from the Coventry garrison availed themselves of "free quarter" worth £25.8.8 and stole £1.7.10 in “ready money” from Peter Storer. Two Coventry soldiers, identified as Lieutenant Beake (listed under Captain Flower in a 1645 garrison muster) and Capener, stole mares worth £5 apiece from Mr Pelsant and Mr Chancey. Captain Ottaway took a mare worth £2.19 from Woolstan Leaby, a servant, “leaving another in her roome”, and Captain Flower’s troops took a mare worth £2 from widow Siddon. On another occasion, Captain Smith's forces from the Tamworth garrison took a mare worth £4 from Richard Palmer. The town was also visited by soldiers under the command of the notorious "Tinker" Fox from Edgbaston Hall. On 8th September, 1644 Edward Raynor, "a soldier under Colonel Fox" allegedly took a mare worth £3.13.4 from Mr Chancey. For other uses, see English Civil War (disambiguation). ...
