Best Answer

The clash between King and Parliament between 1640 and 1660 brought fighting to the streets of Abingdon and an intense conflict of loyalties to the town. In 1643, Anthony Huish, Head-master of Roysse's school, became Reader and continued the Church of England services Even after the capture of Abingdon by Parliamentary forces under General Waller in May 1644. A group of loyal Anglicans gathered round Huish, most notable among them being Peter Heylin the Royalist apologist who lived at Lacy's Court in the town. He supported the lengthy and ultimately successful attempts to prevent the church being united with St. Helen's. After Huish's retirement in 1655 the services were continued by Heylin and others until the Restoration of Charles II brought happier times to St. Nicolas', with the general restoration of Anglican worship.
