Night March to Sedgemoor
Wednesday 5th July 2017
To mark the 332nd anniversary of the battle of Sedgemoor the Battlefields Trust has teamed up with St Mary's Church, Westonzoyland to offer a unique opportunity to recreate the Duke of Monmouth's dramatic night march across the moor from Bridgwater to Westonzoyland. Our night walk will end at St Mary's Church where the vicar has kindly allowed a limited number of participants to spend the rest of the night.
Everone is welcome to join the walk but those wishing to stay in the Church MUST register here first.
