About Lyme Regis Siege Site, Dorset
The Lyme Regis Siege Site marks where Royalist forces besieged the Parliamentarian port town during the English Civil War. Led by Prince Maurice, the eight-week siege in 1644 tested the town's fortifications and the resolve of its garrison. Parliamentarian relief and naval support forced a Royalist withdrawal, keeping Lyme Regis as a base for the Parliamentary cause in the west.
