Civil War

About

Opening 17th March

Surgeons who could remove a bladder stone in 50 seconds, military hospitals run with stern hygiene standards and a complex system of war pensions for the maimed, widowed and orphaned. Hardly sounds like the mid-17th century, but a new exhibition on medicine and welfare in the British Civil Wars will open eyes on what experts believe was a ground-breaking period.

The six-month show at the National Civil War Centre in Newark, Nottinghamshire, which opens on 19 March 2016, is being curated by Dr Andrew Hopper of Leicester University and Dr Eric Gruber Von Arni, once the most senior nurse in the British Army.

The National Civil War Centre is open daily 10am to 5pm. Admission is £7 adults, £6 concessions and £3 children. A season ticket is just £11. English Heritage members half price.
