Description: Looking south-west from close to the point where Richard III's standard flies. There are now far more trees in the scene than would have been the case in 1485. From here an approaching army using Fenn Lanes would have been visible. Dadlington windmill would also have been visible: almost certainly the place where Richard III's senior commander the Duke of Norfolk, was slain (according to the Stanley ballad, "Lady Bessy"). Dadlington windmill stood somewhere between Apple Orchard Farm and neighbouring North Farm. One of the fields of North Farm, just north of Apple Orchard Farm, was still called Mill Field on a mid C19th tithe map.
