Full Description
Upon enquiry, I learnt that human bones, coins, and other relics indicative of a battle, have been frequently dug up … on the south side of and within the garden of Sir Robert Bromley (owner of Stoke Hall). In August 1825, Sir Robert Bromley kindly accompanied me over part of the field of battle, and pointed out a place in his garden where many of the slain were found. They were interred in long trenches, but very few indications of armour or weapons were discovered; however, the labourers found two spurs, one of which they purloined, the other Sir Robert Bromley obtained. ("Garden" shown on accompanying map). (1)
