Brief description
https://chalgrovelocalhistorygroup.org.uk/john-hampden-monument
2025:
"John Hampden’s Monument was erected in 1843, the 200th anniversary of the battle of Chalgrove, to celebrate the life of John Hampden who was mortally wounded in the encounter. The Monument was as can been seen in the image below without the capstone or the railings when it was first erected. The railings around the base of the Monument pointing out at an angle represent pikemen in a defensive pose. As a last ditch manoeuvre to save the Regiment’s Standard the pikemen formed a chiltron not too dissimilar to that displayed at the Monument’s base."
