The Battle of Powick Bridge was a skirmish fought on 23 September 1642 just south of Worcester, England, during the First English Civil War. It was the first engagement between elements of the principal field armies of the Royalists and Parliamentarians. Sir John Byron was escorting a Royalist convoy of valuables from Oxford to King Charles's army in Shrewsbury and, worried about the proximity of the Parliamentarians, took refuge in Worcester on 16 September to await reinforcements. The Royalists despatched a force commanded by Prince Rupert. Meanwhile, the Parliamentarians sent a detachment, under Colonel John Brown, to try to capture the convoy. Each force consisted of around 1,000 mounted troops, a mix of cavalry and dragoons.

The Battle of Powick Bridge was a skirmish fought on 23 September 1642 just south of Worcester, England, during the First English Civil War. It was the first engagement between elements of the principal field armies of the Royalists and Parliamentarians. Sir John Byron was escorting a Royalist convoy of valuables from Oxford to King Charles's army in Shrewsbury and, worried about the proximity of the Parliamentarians, took refuge in Worcester on 16 September to await reinforcements. The Royalists despatched a force commanded by Prince Rupert. Meanwhile, the Parliamentarians sent a detachment, under Colonel John Brown, to try to capture the convoy. Each force consisted of around 1,000 mounted troops, a mix of cavalry and dragoons. The Parliamentarians approached the city from the south on the afternoon of 23 September. Their route took them up narrow lanes and straight into Rupert's force, which was resting in a field. The noise of the approaching Parliamentarian cavalry alerted the Royalists, who quickly formed up. The Royalist dragoons gave their cavalry time to prepare, firing at point-blank range as the Parliamentarians emerged into the field. Rupert's cavalry then charged and broke most of the Parliamentarian cavalry, though one troop stood its ground and returned fire. Ultimately, all of the Parliamentarians were routed. Brown protected his cavalry's escape by making a rearguard stand with his dragoons at Powick Bridge. Rupert gave chase as far as Powick village, but the Parliamentarian cavalry fled 15 miles (24 km) further, their flight causing panic among part of the main Parliamentarian field army. The Royalists abandoned Worcester, leaving safely with their valuable convoy. The Parliamentarian army arrived in the city the next day and remained for four weeks before shadowing the Royalist move towards London, which led to the Battle of Edgehill.

La battaglia di Powick Bridge fu uno scontro che si svolse il 23 settembre 1642 presso Worcester, in Inghilterra. Essa fu parte della prima guerra civile inglese, contrapponendo Realisti e Parlamentaristi. Sir stava scortando un convoglio realista di valori da Oxford verso l'esercito di Carlo I che si trovava a Shrewsbury ma, preoccupato della vicinanza delle forze parlamentariste, si rifugiò presso Worcester il 16 settembre in attesa di rinforzi. I realisti inviarono sul posto una forza al comando del principe Ruperto del Palatinato. Nel frattempo, i parlamentaristi inviarono a loro volta sul posto una forza al comando del colonnello John Brown col compito di catturare il convoglio. Le due parti constavano ciascuna di quasi 1000 cavalieri e dragoni. Le forze parlamentariste si avvicinarono alla città da sud il pomeriggio del 23 settembre e questi si portarono diretti contro le truppe del principe Ruperto in campo aperto. Il rumore della cavalleria nemica in avvicinamento, allertò i realisti che si misero subito in posizione. I dragoni dei realisti diedero tempo al resto della loro cavalleria di prepararsi per lo scontro. La cavalleria delp rincipe Ruperto caricò quindi il nemico spezzandone le fila e disperdendoli. Brown protesse la fuga della sua cavalleria con l'uso della sua retroguardia piazzata presso Powick Bridge. Il principe Ruperto diede la caccia ai suoi nemici sino al villaggio di , ma la cavalleria parlamentarista proseguì per altre 15 miglia. I realisti abbandonarono Worcester col loro convoglio, proseguendo la loro marcia. I parlamentaristi giunsero in città il giorno successivo e vi rimasero quattro settimane prima di scontrarsi nuovamente coi loro nemici nella battaglia di Edgehill.
