It looks to be from Littlecote House.

Possibly from this period:

...re-opened in April 1993, with the added attractions of a classic car museum, children's adventure playground, Littlecote "village", working farm, tournament field with jousting and a garden centre...

See also:

...Littlecote was a stronghold of the Parliamentary Army ...  ...and his Littlecote garrison wore the buff coats which form the unique collection currently hanging in the house....

Monopoly piece?

And suddenly, the Roundhead Garrison pieces are everywhere. Two in a local market, an outrageously priced one in a Brighton junk shop antique emporium. Two on fleabay and one from someone in my local.

[redwine]

No, not monopoly 11x4x3.5cm.

Isn't it amazing how pieces see the light

Looks like an Austin or Morris from the late forties.

The Austin A40 was copied extensively for fairground carousels around the same time.
