More about this scene

As early as January 1643 a pamphlet had been published titled 'Apparitions and Prodigious Noyses of War and Battels seen on Edge Hill near Keinton in Warwickshire'. This was the first account of ghostly re-enactments of the battle that have been witnessed on countless occasions over the past 350 years. On hearing of the ghostly goings on, Charles I sent a party to investigate. They returned and told the king that they had seen the battle refought and had identified a number of the people taking part.
