Sealed Knot - The Battle of Bridgwater The weekend of the 15th and 16th July 2005 is the 320th Anniversary of the Battle of Sedgemoor. When, in 1685, the forces of the rebel Duke of Monmouth and those of King James II fought the last battle on English soil, at Westonzoyland, Somerset. It is proposed that the Sealed Knot, in conjunction with Sedgemoor District Council mark this anniversary with a major Battle re-enactment on or near the Battle site. As part of the build up to this epic event, a number of smaller Battles and re-enactments will be performed in and around Bridgwater in the period leading up to July 2005. The first of these events is the Battle of St Matthew's Field. As the public access to St Matthew's field is un-restricted the event will be free. Due to the limited camping, the event will be classified as a 'Booked Mini Muster'. It will feature two Battles and a series of training events over the 3rd and 4th August 2002.
