Monmouth Ash Tree, Dorset

Monmouth Ash Tree, Horton and Woodlands, Dorset.

In 1685 Lord Monmouth was ill advised by Protestant leaders to invade the West Country from his base in Holland and declare himself the rightful King. His band of ill-equipped followers gave name to the uprising, known as the ‘Pitchfork Rebellion’.

The army he led was persued by Lord Faversham towards Bridgwater. The two forces engaged each other at the battle of Sedgemoor. Although the inexperienced farmers and labourers fought bravely they were no match for Faversham’s trained troops and were routed. Monmouth himself was captured and taken to the Tower of London. After a summary trial he was executed.

Over three hundred years later near the spot where he was captured stands an Ash Tree with a plaque attached recording Monmouth’s last stand, but that may not be the only reminder of what happened there so long ago, because many people have claimed to have seen the bedraggled Lord staggering around carrying his severed head, especially on the night of 16th July, the anniversary of the date on which he was put to death. So prevalent was the belief in this haunting that it was said that the local populace would not pass by without the safety of a charm.
