Marston Moor - Cromwell's Plump




Description

The small clump of trees at the highest point of the ridge where the Parliamentarian forces lined up before the Battle of Marston Moor.

Even though Lord Fairfax was the Commander in Chief, the point is known as Cromwell's (or Oliver's) Plump.

Location

Marston Moor, between Tockwith and Long Marston, North Yorkshire, England. March 2003
