June the 2nd 1644 Sir William Waller (Parliamentarian) seizes Newbridge near Oxford to control crossings of the River Thames above and below the city. The Tower Hamlets Trained Bands led by Captain Christopher Gore and a captain from the Kentish regiment with a body of commanded musketeers from the two units, seized the Royalist position at Newbridge by crossing the Thames in punts,
