About Fencing in Bridgwater
Bridgwater in Somerset was another town swept up in the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685, with the Duke proclaimed king on the town's Cornhill before his forces marched out to defeat at the nearby Battle of Sedgemoor. In a very different tradition, Bridgwater has held a carnival since 1847, made official in 1881, and it now claims to host the largest illuminated procession in Europe each November, drawing crowds from across the region.
