Dedication
To Jane and Joanna, as always, for enduring my interests
with a good grace
Acknowledgements
I am grateful to the staff at Barnet Museum for their
kindness in discussing the battle with me, and allowing me
to examine the cannonballs in their collection. Graham
Javes kindly showed me the evidence for the spur from
Barnet, and shared his knowledge of the battle. Thanks
also to Paul Perrone for providing information on Monken
Hadley Church. I am very grateful to the staff at
Tewkesbury Abbey for allowing me to photograph the
sacristy door, and for their generous offers of help.
