• Notes

  Perhaps the most interesting part of the Register is that which includes the Civil War period. King Charles arrived at Shrewsbury on l0th September, 1642, and stayed two days at the Council House. After a brief visit to Chester, the King returned to Shrewsbury on September 27th, where he remained till 12th October. At this time he was making special efforts to secure the support of the Roman Catholics, and it seems probable that he found it necessary to re-assure his Protestant subjects. On the last Sunday of his visit " The King took a protestation, and the Sacrament upon it, in St. Mary's Church, in our town, to defend the true Protestant religion, established by Queen Elizabeth and his Royal father." Thus wrote Basil Waring, one of the Common Councillors, in a letter dated at Shrewsbury on 18th October, 1642, and the " protestation " was also reported in " Special Passages," a Parliamentary journal of the time.
