Naseby Pillar (briefest and final form).

_Siste Viator_.

Here, and for --- yards to rearward, lies the Dust of men slain in the

Battle of Naseby, 14 June 1645. Hereabouts appears to have been the

crisis of the struggle, hereabouts the final charge of Oliver Cromwell

and his Ironsides, that day.

This {302a} Ground was opened, not irreverently or witht reluctance,

Saty 23 Septr 1842, to ascertain that fact, and render the

contemporary records legible. Peace henceforth to these old Dead.
