The battle . Astley was trying to reach Oxford with his force when Parliament got wind of it . What ensued was a period of thrusting and parrying along the river Avon as Astley tried to evade certain defeat . Finally , Astley had no choice , but to stop and fight the harrying Roundhead forces of Colonel Thomas Morgan and Sir William Brereton . Astley chose a hill to the northwest of Stow - on - the - Wold straddling the present day A424 highway . The Roundhead forces ( the Parliamentarians ) , who were slightly smaller in number , lined up to the northwest of Astley ' s position , also along the current route of the A424 .
