Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Top of the Phoenix Tower This is the top section of the Phoenix Tower at the north east corner of the city walls. The carving at the very top represents the phoenix arising from the ashes. Below the phoenix is an inscription:

KING CHARLES STOOD ON THIS TOWER SEPT. 24. 1645, AND SAW HIS ARMY DEFEATED ON ROWTON MOOR

The current opinion seems to be that he could not have seen very much as Rowton Moor is too far away, nevertheless, below the inscription is the coat of arms of Charles I, and the tower is more commonly known as the King Charles Tower.
