Notes

"Bevil Grenville, Allegiance: Royalist Position: Regimental commander: Grenville was a wealthy landowner who had a passion for knowledge. Although initially opposed to Charles I, he later sided with him, and led a regiment for the Royalist cause in the South-West. His regiment distinguished itself at the battle of Lansdown , but Grenville was killed in the fighting.

Sir Bevil Grenville was with his regiment at the front, and set an example to all.
"...the air was so darkened by the smoke of the powder, that for a quarter of an hour... there was no light seen, but what the fire of the volleys of shot gave;"
'The Vindication of Richard Atkyns', Peter Young
After three assaults they finally stood atop the hill, and fought hard to stay there. In this fighting Sir Grenville himself was killed, but his regiment stood firm and the rest of the army was allowed to draw level with them.

Waller then withdrew a short distance to a stone wall. From here both sides exchanged fire until darkness fell. Waller withdrew his force to Bath during the night, leaving burning match-cord on the wall to fool his enemy into thinking that he was still there. Although victorious, the royalist army had taken a pounding. They were now too weak to besiege Bath. They suffered a further blow when Lord Hopton was badly injured in an ammunition explosion the day after the battle. Hopton and his army withdrew to Chippenham.

Sir Bevil Grenville Born 1596 near Withiel, west of Bodmin, and a grandson of Sir Richard Grenville.At the start of the Civil war in 1642 he raised an army in Cornwall to fight for the King. When the Parliamentarians crossed the Tamar his army fought a number of battles and threw them out of Cornwall.He won battles at Braddock Down near Lostwithiel, and at Stratton Hill near Bude. he then led his men on a victorious march through Devon into Somerset. In 1643 the Royalists won a battle at Lansdown Hill outside Bath, but Bevil Grenville was mortally wounded. His Cornish soldiers refused to fight under any other leader and returned home, carrying the body of Sir Bevil. It was buried in a tomb in Kilkhampton Church."
