Battle of Stratton 1643 – Stamford Hill walk

The hard-won royalist victory at Stratton defeated a well-positioned, prepared and numerically superior parliamentarian force on Stamford Hill outside #Bude in #Cornwall. The victorious Cornish Army went on to fight its way to Bath and the brutal Battle of Lansdown Hill, before sustaining terrible casualties at the Storming Bristol on 26 July 1643.

A morning walk will follow the lanes up which the Cornish foot fought. It will end at the Battle of Stratton memorial on Stamford Hill. The walk will last approximately two hours and will include discussion of the key role played by Cornwall in the English Civil War. Stout footwear is recommended.

The meeting point for the walk will be at the @PrestonGateInn in #Poughill near Bude EX23 9ET (OS: SS 223078), at 10:30 on Sunday 10 May. Car parking at the pub is limited (please check with staff). However, there is a free village carpark at the cemetery, off Northcott Mouth Road (OS: SS 222079).

Although not part of this #BattlefieldsTrust walk, those interested may wish to also visit @StAndrewsChurchStratton and/or the @TheTreeInn in Stratton. The church includes a good display of artifacts from the battlefield. The Tree Inn was the home of Anthony Payne the ‘Cornish Giant’, steward and ensign to Sir Bevil Grenville, who fought at the battles of Stratton and Lansdown Hill in 1643.

Please check out the @TheBattlefieldsTrust website (at tickets) for more details. If you can, please do sign up ahead of this walk to give an indication of numbers.
