The relief depicts a battle scene with ranks of English and Scottish pikemen and archers confronting each other. In the distance of the hilly landscape, the tents of the Scottish camp are aflame. This is in the library at Naworth Castle, Brampton, Cumbria. George Howard commissioned it as an emblem of his friendship and collaboration with Burne-Jones and gave this version to the museum in 1889. It is one of Howard’s most important Pre-Raphaelite commissions for Naworth Castle. Matthew Webb made this plaster copy from Edgar Boehm’s mould 'in case of accidents' in about 1886. Philip Webb assisted with the designs for the horses and armorial devices and Sir Edgar Boehm sculpted it in 1882. It depicts the Battle of Flodden Field which took place at Flodden in Northumberland in 1513.
