Stony Stratford on Watling Street was a contested point between the Royalist base at Oxford and the Parliamentary strongholds in Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire. Royalist cavalry from Oxford conducted several raids through the area in 1643, maintaining pressure on Parliamentary supply lines. The town was on the route between Oxford and the key Parliamentary supply base at Newport Pagnell, making it a regular flashpoint for small cavalry actions.
