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. Some weeks after leaving Bentley Hall following attempts to find a boat from Bristol and Charmouth the king made his escape on the Surprise to Fecamp in Normandy. This sculpture was installed as part of a Local History Initiative.
