Edgecote

Edgecote

Edgecote is the site of the Battle of Edgecote Moor, a battle fought on July 26, 1469 during the Wars of the Roses. The battle site is marked on many maps and lies about a mile east of where Edgecote Hall now stands. Edgecote village no longer exists. There is still Edgecote Mill and Edgecote Hall which are situated close to each other in a network of small roads and lanes in western Northamptonshire roughly 10 miles (16 km) north-east of Banbury in Oxfordshire. However the area is not marked as Edgecote on most maps.

On 22 October 1642 King Charles I made Edgecote his headquarters the day before the Battle of Edgehill, the first battle of the English Civil War.
