#583 Saint Mawes Castle, Cornwall. Her Majesty's Stationery Office, Ministry of Public Building and Works, 1967, reprint of 1st edition. #StMawes #Cornwall #Castles #HMSO #BookOfTheDay

The front cover of the pamphlet Saint Mawes Castle, Cornwall. Part of which reads:

"HISTORY -

IN 1538 a reconciliation between the Emperor Charles V and Francis I, King of France, whose continued rivalry it had been the business of English diplomacy to foster, meant that there was real danger of an invasion of England. Henry VIII, King of England, thereupon set about strengthening the fortifications of the coasts facing the Continent. To this work he diverted some of the money and much of the material derived from the suppression of the monasteries. Large numbers of men were employed, and in a space of eight years many new castles and blockhouses were erected along the coast from Hull to Milford Haven. The two castles at the mouth of the Fal estuary, on opposite sides of Carrick Roads— St. Mawes and Pendennis—were not amongst the first to be built, but they are two of the best remaining examples. St. Mawes Castle was begun in 1540 and finished in 1543.

The first Governor, appointed in the spring of 1544, was Michael Vyvyan, a member of the family who still hold the estate of Trelowarren at the head of Helford River. He was succeeded in 1561 by Hannibal Vyvyan; a bell, cast for the latter’s use at the castle, inscribed “Hanniball Vivian 1600” and stamped with a crowned fleur-de-lys, is at Trelowarren Park to-day. In July, 1595, this Governor reported to Sir Francis Drake in London the Spanish raid upon Penzance, when four galleys landed a force which burnt Penzance..."
