Braddock church is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin: the earliest parts of the building are Norman but an aisle and a tower were added in the 15th century.

[6] The font is Norman and there are many good examples of woodcarving in the church: these include the bench ends, part of the rood screen, wagon roofs, an Elizabethan pulpit and two carved panels perhaps of the 18th century.

[7] Arthur Tatham (1808–1874) was for over forty years rector of Broadoak and Boconnoc, Cornwall, and prebendary of Exeter Cathedral.

General Ruthvin, the parliamentarian commander, had been unwilling to wait for the Earl of Stamford's reinforcements to arrive at Liskeard and, perhaps wishing to claim the expected defeat of Hopton as his own, had marched out to challenge the royalist army.

Today, access to the site is difficult because there are no public footpaths and the roads that traverse the battlefield are narrow with high hedges.
