Wasn't it 'Culloden'? Unless you include the Falkland Islands as 'British soil'.

Sorry. I read it to be 'The last armed Battle'. Not the same thing.

Every Saturday night around our way.

ok


the easter rising.Dublin 1916

Last battle 'in the field' (as opposed to riots, violent strikes, urban disorder etc) on English soil was probably the affray at Bosenden Wood, Kent, 31 May1838, between some forty crudely-armed disaffected rural workers led by a Cornish loony calling himself Sir William Courtenay (amongst other things, including 'Messiah') and a detachment of the 45th Foot from Canterbury. Courtenay and eight of his men were killed, as against one officer killed and several men wounded, along with a constable murdered earlier.
