Description
The Memorial to the Battle of Stamford Hill was erected in 1713 by Lord Lansdown. It incorporates a late 15th century pinnacle that was re-used from a church tower. The memorial is constructed from stone rubble and granite, featuring a round-headed granite stone archway set on stone rubble walls. Above the archway is a crocketted pinnacle resting on a moulded octagonal base. The Battle of Stamford Hill took place in May 1643, where the Royalist Cornish Army, led by Sir Ralph Hopton and including Sir Bevil Grenville, defeated the Parliamentarians under Major General Chudleigh, despite being outnumbered by more than two to one.
