'Last Battlefield on English Soil' road sign at Clifton in the Eden district of Cumbria.
The 1745 'skirmish' between Bonnie Prince Charlie's retreating Jacobites and the English army under the Duke of Cumberland on Clifton Moor is said to be the the last ever battle on English soil.
The story of a local family, the Wybergs, whose property was forcibly sold by Oliver Cromwell in 1652, is told in Sir Walter Scott's novel, Waverley, which also features the battle on Clifton Moor.
