Summary[edit]

Description

In the early morning of 21 March 1646 the last battle of the Civil War took place in Gloucestershire, one mile north of the town of Stow on the Wold. After initial royalist success the superiority of the parliamentary forces, particularly Brereton?s cavalry, soon overwhelmed and routed the royalist forces. Fleeing the field, the royalists fought a running fight back into the streets of Stow where the final action took place, culminating in Astley?s surrender in the market square.

The medieval cross in the market place, just where Sir Jacob Astley?s sat when he surrendered, for it was here that the English Civil War was effectively ended.
