Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Looking south-east from Fenn Lane Roman road, across the fields of Fenn Lane Farm. It was from this vicinity that soil was taken and placed in Richard III's grave when he was re-buried in Leicester Cathedral in 2015. The fields on either side of Fenn Lanes correspond to the flat plain which William Burton (writing in the early 1600s) described as the site of the battle: "fought in a large, flat, plaine, and spacious ground, three miles distant from [Bosworth], between the Towne of Shenton, Sutton [Cheney], Dadlington and Stoke [Golding]..," It was in the fields to either side of Fenn Lanes (the route of approach of Richmond's army) that the Battlefields Trust found the round shot and silver-gilt boar badge, identifying the true site of the battle. (Ambion Hill was the site of Richard III's camp, not the site of the battle). The spire of Stoke Golding church is on the horizon. Henry VII was crowned on (what came to be known as) Crown Hill, Stoke Golding.
