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. The king hid in an oak tree near Boscobel House to avoid discovery by Parliamentary troopers before travelling to Bentley Hall. This sculpture was installed as part of a Local History Initiative.
