I spotted this over a door in Lichfield. Can’t believe I’d never noticed it before. It reads:
“March 2nd 1643 Lord Brooke a General of the Parliament forces, preparing to besiege the Close of Lichfield, then garrisoned for King Charles the First, received his death wound on the spot beneath this inscription by a shot in the forehead, from Mr Dyott, a gentleman who had placed himself on the battlements of the great steeple to annoy the besiegers”
Well done!
What an exciting thing to come across.
