Bentley Cairn marks the site of Bentley Hall and has a series of depictions of the escape of King Charles II after the Battle of Worcester. A popular subject for paintings and etchings was mistress Jane Lane with the king as her manservant on their journey to Abbots Leigh near Bristol. Several of these are in the National Portrait Gallery and another in the Walsall Arts Gallery. This sculpture was installed as part of a Local History Initiative.
