The day after the battle, a Royalist ammunition cart exploded.
Hopton was injured and temporarily blinded.
The loss of the powder and the absence of most of their horse meant that the Royalists could not fight another action.
Meanwhile, Waller had retired to Bath, where he was reinforced and was ready to attack again.
Hopton's army retreated in low spirits to Devizes.
Hopton's army was in such a poor situation before their retreat that Hopton's military opponent but old friend Waller offered him hospitality in Bath, though he refused it.

A Cornish officer describing the battle wrote that Waller was "... the best shifter and chooser of ground when he was not Master of the field that ever I saw". (

The site of the battle is marked by a monument to Sir Bevil Grenville, who died after the battle in Cold Ashton Rectory.
