The Battle of Camp Hill (aka Battle of Birmingham) was a minor skirmish during the English Civil War.
The Battle took place on 3rd April 1643 (Easter Monday) when a small Parliamentarian force attempted to prevent a much larger Royalist detachment, led by Prince Rupert from passing through the town.
The Royalist drove the Parliamentarian out of the town and back towards Lichfield and brunt and pillaged the houses from which they had been attached.
