The Blew Regiment is part of the Sealed Knot Society, which was formed to recreate the desperate times of the English Civil Wars. Our website site contains information about us, more general information about the history of the English Civil War, and information our members should find useful, as well as numerous photographs of the regiment and events we've been involved with.
Our regiment is part of the Parliament Army as was it historical predecessor, and we are proud of our attempt to present as nearly as possible, something of the appearance of an actual Infantry Regiment of the period 1640 / 1650.
