    1642 · The English Civil War

    A series of conflicts regarding England's governance during the years 1642 to 1651 is now known as The English Civil War. Charles I summoned supporters to join him against his enemies in Parliament. In October 1642, nearly 10,000 men fought for Charles I and chased Parliament across the River Tamar. Fighting continued for years and was finally ended at the Battle of Worcester on September 3, 1651, with a Parliamentarian victory.

    Name Meaning

    English: habitational name from Scholey's Bridge in Hemsworth (Yorkshire), which is recorded as Scollay in 1276. Alternatively, it may be from a lost place called Scholey in Rastrick (also in Yorkshire). The placenames both derive from Old Norse skáli ‘hut, shieling’ + Old English lēah ‘woodland clearing’.
