Friends of the late Martin Marix Evans have commissioned an English Civil War themed memorial seat to be placed on Naseby Field, a Battlefield Martin did so much to promote, as a Founder Member, Trustee and Chairman of The Naseby Battlefield Project.

Created from steel by a specialist manufacturer, this unique seat, designed by Jon Courtney Thompson, a fellow Trustee, will provide a place near Sulby Hedges for the visitor to both sit and to contemplate the momentous events that took place in June 1645 on the Battlefield before them.

This seat will act as a lasting memorial to the man who did so much to promote Naseby's position as one of our most important National Battlefield Sites.

It is expected the seat will be installed in June of this year at a date all donors will be advised of.
