EDGE HILL

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 934 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ECG-EMS
EDGE HILL , an elevated
ridge
  in Warwickshire, England, near the border of
Oxfordshire
 . The north-western face is an abrupt escarpment of the lias, and the summit of the
ridge
  is almost level for nearly 2 m., at a height somewhat exceeding 700 ft. The escarpment overlooks a
rich
  lowland watered by streams tributary to the Avon; the gentle eastern slope sends its waters to the Cherwell, and the ridge thus forms
part
  of the divide between the basins of the Severn and the Thames. Edge Hill gave name to the first battle of the
Great
  Rebellion (q.v.), fought on the 23rd of October 1642. Charles I., marching on London from the north-west, was here met by the parliamentary forces under Robert Devereux,
earl
  of
Essex
 . The royalists were posted on the hill while the enemy was in the plain before Kineton. But the rash advice of Prince
Rupert
  determined the king to give up the advantage of position; he descended to the attack, and though
Rupert
  himself was successful against theopposing cavalry, he was checked by the arrival of a
regiment
  with artillery under
Hampden
 , and, in the meantime, the royalist infantry was driven back. The parliamentarians, however, lost the more heavily, and though both sides claimed the advantage, the king was able to advance and occupy Banbury.
