Description
Hadley Highstone is a stone obelisk erected around 1740 by Sir Jeremy Sambrook to commemorate the Battle of Barnet in 1471. The obelisk stands approximately 12 feet high and bears an inscription that details the battle between Edward IV and the Earl of Warwick, noting the Earl's defeat and death on April 14th, 1471. The obelisk originally stood roughly 200 yards further south and was relocated to its current site around 1840.
