The story of the battle of Turnham Green & how `the sack of London` was prevented by Londoners. As Charles I`s army marched on the capital in the autumn of 1642, Nehemiah Wallington, a wood-turner living near London Bridge, wrote in his journal, `those cruel cavilers doe so plonder & pillage & commit Rapin & use such cruelty that the poore people are caused to fly from house & home to save their children`. Most Londoners shared his fears that city would be pillaged & burnt by the king`s supporters, who had been vilified in the London press & from the pulpits.

The outcome would mark a turning point in the conflict that had split the nation. ...
