Evening Talk: Tinker Fox and The Fight for the Midlands
Please note, this event is suitable only for those aged 14+ To Royalists, he was the nightmare made real: a tradesman who refused to stay in his place. In the smoking aftermath of Prince Rupert’s assault on Birmingham, John ‘Tinker’ Fox seized the moment. This talk -together with the premiere of a new short documentary film -throws a spotlight on Fox’s meteoric rise and the gritty reality of the Civil Wars in the region: a conflict fought through garrisons, raids, and relentless small scale skirmishes rather than grand set piece battles.
