  Colonel William Strode died on the 9th September 1645 and his responsibility for Ewyas Lacy seems to have passed then [if not earlier] to trustees appointed by Parliament under an 'Act for the Sale of Several Lands and Estates Forfeited to the Commonwealth for Treason', who in turn disposed of it to Thomas Harrison, one of Cromwell's strong supporters.
  ...
  The trustees were charged with the sale of forfeited properties, a process by which many of the revolutionaries enriched themselves, and despite his religious convictions Harrison was no exception, acquiring several Crown properties in different parts of the country. An Act of Parliament dated 23rd April 1652 authorised the trustees to sell 'all that the manors of Ewyas Lacye, Waterston and Tre Ysgallen (Trewaylan)' with all their appurtenances, said to be 'of the clear yearly value of five hundred pounds' to Thomas Harrison for the sum of five shillings.
  ...

  Thomas Harrison [1606-1660] was a religious zealot, who rose rapidly through the ranks of Parliament's Army during the Civil War. He became Commander in Chief of the Commonwealth's forces in the counties of Monmouthshire, Glamorgan, Brecknockshire, Radnorshire, Cardiganshire, Carmarthenshire, Herefordshire and parts of Gloucestershire. In addition to this military role he led the 'Commission for the Propagation of the Gospel in Wales', responsible for rooting out of Royalist and scandalous clergy and the planting of a preaching ministry in their place. These two duties were neatly combined in the recruitment of large local militias, and it is very likely that both roles would have had a significant impact on local affairs in Ewyas Lacy, especially after his purchase of the lands for a pittance from the Parliamentary trustees.
  
  Harrison was later appointed a Major-General, commanding the army left to guard England during Cromwell's invasion of Scotland. He was also politically prominent, having sat as a judge in the trial of Charles I and being a signatory to his death warrant. He took a seat on the Council of State in 1651, having been appointed in effect military governor of Wales in the previous year. His extreme religious views eventually led him into conflict with Cromwell and parliament, and he was imprisoned by their order several times between 1653, when his Army commission was withdrawn, and 1658. In 1660, one of the first acts of Charles II on his restoration to the throne was to put Harrison on trial for Regicide, and he was hung, drawn and quartered on 13th October 1660 at Charing Cross.

  Thomas Harrison 1606-1660
  
  Son of a butcher who became mayor of Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire, Harrison was admitted to the Inns of Court and articled as an attorney in London.On the outbreak of the first Civil War, he enlisted for Parliament and became a Major in Colonel Fleetwood's regiment of horse in the Earl of Manchester's Eastern Association army.With his passionate religious fervour, Harrison was denounced as an Anabaptist by Manchester's Presbyterian officers but praised as God-fearing and zealous by Oliver Cromwell.
  ...
  Harrison fought at Marston Moor and Newbury, strongly supporting Cromwell in his dispute with Manchester.
  ...
  At the battle of Langport in July 1645, Harrison startled his comrades by breaking into a rapturous psalm of praise when the Royalists began to fall back.He was an enthusiastic participant in the slaughter of the Catholic defenders of Basing House, which Cromwell took by storm in October 1645.
  
  In 1646, Harrison was elected to the Long Parliament as recruiter MP for Wendover.He took part in the Putney Debates, November 1647 and was one of the few army Grandees to sympathise with the Levellers, though he was more interested in religious than political or social reform.It was Harrison who first called King Charles the "man of blood" after news came of his escape from Hampton Court, precipitating the second Civil War.
  
  Promoted to Colonel, Harrison was sent to join Major-General Lambert's army holding the north against the Engagers, but he was badly wounded in a skirmish at Appleby in July 1648.He returned to London and in December 1648 acted as a go-between in Henry Ireton's negotiations with John Lilburne to gain Leveller support for the King's trial.Harrison commanded the military escort that brought Charles to Windsor and then to London in January 1649.Royalists were outraged that this duty should be entrusted to the fanatical Colonel Harrison.The King believed that Harrison intended to assassinate him, but was surprised to find him courteous and correct in his behaviour.Harrison sat as a judge at every session of the trial and was a signatory of the King's death warrant.
  
  In 1649, Harrison was active in suppressing Royalists in the Midlands.The following year he was appointed President of the Commission for the Propagation of the Gospel in Wales - a body empowered to seize church livings and fund Puritan missionaries in Wales, where the Anglican clergy had been influential in raising support for the King.Harrison gained a reputation for great severity in Wales, where he was virtually a military governor.Promoted to the rank of Major-General in 1651, Harrison commanded the army in England when Cromwell invaded Scotland.
  ...
  When Charles II and his Covenanter allies invaded England, Harrison marched to head them off from London.He linked up with Cromwell's main force and fought at the battle of Worcester, September 1651.
  
  By the early 1650s Harrison was associated with the radical millenarian Fifth Monarchy sect.He enthusiastically supported Cromwell's dissolution of the Rump in April 1653, personally pulling Speaker Leanthall out of the Chair and ejecting him from the Chamber.It was Harrison who suggested the Nominated Assembly of "Saints" to govern in place of the Rump.He headed the radicals in the Assembly, which brought him into political conflict with Lambert.When moderates voted to dissolve the Assembly less than six months after its inauguration, Harrison and other radicals refused to leave the Chamber and had to be driven out by soldiers.A few days after this, Harrison was dismissed from the Army.
  
  With his Fifth Monarchist sympathies, Harrison came to be regarded as a dangerous opponent of the Protectorate.He was imprisoned four times between 1653 and 1658 on suspicion of involvement in various plots and insurrections.After Cromwell's death, he lived quietly in Staffordshire, supporting neither Richard Cromwell, the Army Grandees nor the republicans of the Rump in the political turmoil that followed.He made no response to Lambert's last desperate attempt to rally support for the "Good Old Cause" on the eve of the Restoration.
  
  Harrison was one of the first of the Regicides to be singled out for punishment.He stood by his principles and made no attempt to escape.Parliament ordered him to be arrested and brought to the Tower of London in May 1660 - before Charles II had even landed at Dover.He was brought to trial in October 1660 and sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered.Harrison went bravely to his gruesome death, his religious zeal undiminished to the end.
