A sign on this privately-owned field welcomes visitors to rest and even to picnic, but asks them to remember that this is the spot at which the last king of England died in battle and to be respectful of the gravity of the event commemorated.
The line of trees at the right marks a small stream which may have been the "Sandeford" mentioned in contemporary accounts. Alternative theories site Sandeford at a spot near the road from Sutton Cheney to Dadlington.
The inscription on the marker is shown in the next slide.
