Talk | Battle wound treatment during the English Civil War – with Kevin Goodman
Saturday 20 June 2026, 4 – 5pm | The Commandery
“I dressed his wound and God healed it.”
Terrible wounds were inflicted upon Royalist and Parliamentarian soldiers during the English Civil War, from swords, muskets and pikes.
Medical historian Kevin Goodman will demonstrate how surgeons treated wounds before antiseptics and antibiotics were available, with the aid of surgical instruments from the period.
£10. Book your place below.
This talk is part of a commemorative programme of events for the 375th anniversary of the Battle of Worcester, 1651.
