The final slope of Mill Hill up which the King’s infantry, supported by Langdale’s cavalry, advanced to attack Skippon’s infantry in the first phase of the battle. Skippon’s front line stood roughly along the line of the hedge behind the Roundhead monument. His troops were inexperienced and initially fell back. Skippon was wounded but the situation was retrieved when General Fairfax threw in reserves and himself took command of the centre. See other views of the battlefield at Image and at Image
