The Battle of Northburn was an engagement of King Malcom's War fought on 15th January 1750. Following his victory at Helderny, the Earl of Tarringway pursued the escaped Grythsheader forces of Osgood Stanley. With 13,500 men and a considerable contingent of militia and civilian refugees, Stanley had withdrawn south from Helderny, taking much of the town's military stores with him. At Northburn, a small town ten miles south of Helderny, Stanley had met up with the Grythsheader 5th Division and Sir Jarred Knowton's 1st Foot Guards. Suitably reinforced and posessing a large amount of artillery, Stanley chose to fight at Northburn to prevent Tarringway's advance further into Grythshead.
