Formed in 1794, as part of the Nottinghamshire Yeomanry, the Regiment had a primarily policing role until the mid-nineteenth century. This was a turbulent period with fears of revolutionary contagion and Napoleonic invasion. Social unrest took the form of the Bread Riots, Luddism, Republicanism, Reform Bill riots and, finally, the Chartist uprisings. The Regiment regularly paraded resplendent in green and gold uniforms in front of large crowds at Newark, Retford, Mansfield and Worksop. But for all the glamour little did they realise how they were about to be tested.
