The Lord Hopton’s Regiment of Foote, based near Alton, recently brought the 17th century vividly to life at Titchfield Historical Society hosted an immersive English Civil War re-enactment at Titchfield Abbey. The event marked King Charles I’s dramatic flight from Hampton Court in November 1647, when he escaped house arrest and sought refuge. Re-enactors explained his journey west towards Farnham and then south to Titchfield Abbey, then known as Place House, where he had honeymooned 22 years earlier with Queen Henrietta Maria.
