An exhibition marking the 340th anniversary of the Monmouth Rebellion and exploring its tragic consequences.
After Sedgemoor marks the 340th anniversary of the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685. This exhibition will explore the rebellion’s tragic consequences and how they have been remembered by later generations.
The rebellion has a fundamental place in the story of Somerset and of Taunton Castle which is indelibly linked to the Monmouth Rebellion as the setting for Judge Jeffreys’ Bloody Assizes.
At the centre of the exhibition are two nationally-important paintings, kindly being loaned by the Tate and Manchester Art Gallery.
