Cooper's Hill

Hill overlooking Runnymede in northwest Surrey, England. It is the site of the Commonwealth Air Forces Memorial, designed by Edward Maufe and unveiled by Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, and a memorial to John F Kennedy, former president of the USA, which was unveiled by Queen Elizabeth II in 1965.

It is also the scene of Sir John Denham's poem ‘Cooper's Hill’ (1642), describing the scenery of the Thames Valley.

And up the slope of Cooper's Hill, just opposite, are gathered the wondering rustics and curious townsfolk, who have run from Staines, and none are quite sure what the bustle is about, but each one has a different version of the great event that they have come to see; and some say that much good to all the people will come from this day's work; but the old men shake their heads, for they have heard such tales before.
Three Men In A Boat (To Say Nothing Of The Dog) by Jerome, Jerome K. View in context
