Prince Rupert's Mound
Prince Rupert's Mound overlooking Lichfield Cathedral. It was from here that Prince Rupert laid siege on a Lichfield which had recently been captured by the Parliamentarian forces. From this slightly elevated located cannon were used on the walls and Cathedral Close. The Royalist ousted the Parliamentarian defenders with the use of local miners who were used to undermine the defensive wall and breaching it with gunpowder. The cannon bombarbment did significant damage to the cathedral bringing down the central spire. This spot is now the beer garden of the George and Dragon pub.
