The only question would seem to be whether the remains 

 may not be those of the 400 men said to have been lost by 

 Waller himself, the first day, as stated by the " Me^-curius 

 Aulicus" but the tradition through the blacksmith's family, that 

 they were Welshmen is very precise, and as many other bodies 

 have been found in Eudford Curchyard, and beneath the Chancel 

 of the Church, which were evidently the harvest of some battle 

 field ; it is possible that these may have been the remains of 

 Waller's men, and the others the remains of the Welshmen, 

 especially as the victors would in all probability have shown 

 the preference to their own dead, and have buried them in or 

 near the church.
