		Dadlington churchyard was the main place of interment for those slain in the battle, and a considerable number of human skeletons, arrowheads and pieces of weaponry and armour have been unearthed within Stoke Golding and Dadlington parishes (although many, unfortunately, before the development of modern archaeological techniques).
