Sir Bevil Grenville's Monument

Sir Bevil Grenville's Monument is a monument erected in 1720 on Lansdown, then called "Lansdowne Hill", north-west of the city of Bath, in Somerset, England. It was designated a Grade II
* listed building on 1 February 1956, and a scheduled monument on 12 December 1950.〔〔
The monument commemorates the heroism of the Civil War Royalist commander Sir Bevil Grenville (1596-1643) of Stowe, Kilkhampton in Cornwall and Bideford in Devon, who on 5 July 1643 fell mortally wounded at the Battle of Lansdowne, leading his regiment of Cornish pikemen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sir Bevil Grenville's Monument )〕 It was erected by Grenville's grandson and has been maintained by his descendants. This has included the repair of inscriptions carved on the base of the monument, eulogising Grenville and his forces.
==Background==
(詳細はBattle of Lansdowne took place on 5 July 1643 during the Civil War. The Royalists under Lord Hopton attacked the Parliamentarians led by Sir William Waller who occupied a commanding position on Lansdowne Hill. Under the leadership of Sir Bevil Grenville, Hopton's Cornish pikemen stormed Waller's breastworks, while Royalist musketeers outflanked Waller by passing through the woods on each side of his position. Grenville was mortally wounded in hand-to-hand combat as Parliamentarian horse counter-attacked and were driven off. He received a mortal blow to the head with a pollaxe and was taken to the rectory at nearby Cold Ashton where he died. His death was a set-back from which the king's cause in the Westcountry never recovered, for he alone knew how to handle the unruly Cornishmen.
