First congratulations on your work

My humble effort is to help the accuracy a little

As I live very near to this site I can inform you of the exact site of
"The battle of Mortimers Cross" which was the last battle of the English Civil War is a few kilometers South of your placemark

Historians or visitors will find a site at this location
52deg 16'05.44N
2deg 50'35.74W
which is formally recognised by historians and maintained by "English Heritage"
http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/

If you turn on "roads" you will see a crossroads near this point which is know locally as "Mortimers Cross"

Perhaps you would like to edit your contribution rather than leaving me to place another conflicting site nearby

Other information
The castle which was the seat of the powerful Mortimer family was Wigmore Castle, parts of its ruins are preserved to this day at
52deg 19'02.93N
2deg 52' 16.37W
You may also like to know that Shakespear's Work is celebrated locally each year with an open air performance in nearby Ludlow Castle
(A perfect setting for the scottish play etc)
Next year 2006 it is Midsummer Nights Dream

Once again - Well Done!

Martin
