Editing Battle of Bosworth Field (section)

===Physical site===
English Heritage, responsible for managing England's historic sites, used both theories to designate the site for Bosworth Field. Without preference for either theory, they constructed a single continuous battlefield boundary that encompasses the locations proposed by both Williams and Foss.{{sfn|English Heritage|1995|pp=12–13}} The region has experienced extensive changes over the years, starting after the battle. Holinshed stated in his chronicle that he found firm ground where he expected the marsh to be, and Burton confirmed that by the end of the 16th century, areas of the battlefield were enclosed and had been [[Land improvement|improved]] to make them agriculturally productive. Trees were planted on the south side of Ambion Hill, forming Ambion Wood. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the [[Ashby Canal]] carved through the land west and south-west of Ambion Hill. Winding alongside the canal at a distance, the [[Ashby and Nuneaton Joint Railway]] crossed the area on an embankment.{{sfn|English Heritage|1995|p=4}}{{sfn|Gravett|1999|p=83}} The changes to the landscape were so extensive that when Hutton revisited the region in 1807 after an earlier 1788 visit, he could not readily find his way around.{{sfn|English Heritage|1995|p=4}}

Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre was built on Ambion Hill, near Richard's Well. According to legend, Richard III drank from one of the several springs in the region on the day of the battle.{{sfn|Gravett|1999|p=72}} In 1788, a local pointed out one of the springs to Hutton as the one mentioned in the legend.{{sfn|Battlefields Trust|2004|loc=[http://www.battlefieldstrust.com/resource-centre/warsoftheroses/battlepageview.asp?pageid=392 "Battlefield Monuments"]}} A stone structure was later built over the location. The inscription on the well reads:

{{Blockquote|Near this spot, on August 22nd 1485, at the age of 32, King Richard III fell fighting gallantly in defence of his realm & his crown against the usurper Henry Tudor.

The Cairn was erected by Dr. Samuel Parr in 1813 to mark the well from which the king is said to have drunk during the battle.

It is maintained by the Fellowship of the White Boar.{{sfn|Battlefields Trust|2004|loc=[http://www.battlefieldstrust.com/resource-centre/popup.asp?imageid=353 "The Plaque on Richard's Well"]}}}}

North-west of Ambion Hill, just across the northern tributary of the {{Not a typo|Sence}}, a flag and memorial stone mark Richard's Field. Erected in 1973, the site was selected on the basis of Williams's theory.{{sfn|English Heritage|1995|p=12}} St James's Church at Dadlington is the only structure in the area that is reliably associated with the Battle of Bosworth; the bodies of those killed in the battle were buried there.{{sfn|Battlefields Trust|2004|loc=[http://www.battlefieldstrust.com/resource-centre/warsoftheroses/battlepageview.asp?pageid=392 "Battlefield Monuments"]}}
