Does the monument still exist?

Yes

Installation Date:

Non-Contemporary (1500-1899)

Inscription:

This monument is thought to have been erected by the Dudding family who lived here 1797-1812 to celebrate their cousin Admiral Nelson's victory at Trafalgar. Re-erected 1999. That the Earl of Warwick died here after the Battle of Barnet in 1471 is probably a myth.

Allegiance:

Lancastrian

Condition:

Average

Condition Description:

I have only seen a photograph. The inscription is legible.

Memorial Notes:

It seems unlikely that the Earl of Warwick, when he left the battle 'somewhat fleing', would have been able to reach this location.
