inhabitants of Penryn, who bore no good will to Sir John Killigrew, and his rising town of Smithick. Jane, Lady Killigrew, was daughter of Sir George Fermor, Knt. of Easton Neston, ancestor of the Earl of Pomfret: she died in 1648.[15] In the centre of the principal street, which is composed of many antient and irregular built houses, stand the _Market House_ and _Town Hall_, the appearance of which is not very pleasing. _St. Gluvias_, or the _Parish Church_, is over a branch of the river, the tower of which, with the surrounding scenery, appears highly picturesque, and attracts the attention of every one passing. The interior contains a variety of handsome memorials to the Pendarves family, once of Roscow, in this parish, and the following lines are inscribed on a monument to the memory of the Rev. John Penrose, who died in 1776, aged 63, after being 35 years vicar of this parish. _If social manners, if the gent’lest mind, If zeal for God, and love for human kind, If all the charities which life endear May claim affection, or demand a tear, Then Penrose o’er thy venerable urn, Domestic love may weep and friendship mourn._ _The path of duty still, the path he trod, He walked with safety, for he walked with God; When lost the powers of precept and of prayer, Yet still the Flock remained the Shepherd’s care, Their wants still nobly watchful to supply, He taught his last best lesson, how to die!_ _Eny’s House_, the seat of Francis Ens, Esq., near Penryn, which was erected before the reign of Edward I., has been in his family from that time, and is noticed by Camden for its fine gardens and shrubberies: it is still a residence of great respectability. FALMOUTH, which is now become a very important and populous sea-port town, is distant from Plymouth 55 miles, and 269 west of London. The _Harbour_, which is considered one of the very best in England, is so commodious and sheltered, that the most numerous fleet may ride here in safety; and when it was surveyed a few years ago by Commissioner Bowen, buoys for 16 sail of battle ships were laid down.[16] Much disquisition and doubts have arisen regarding the origin of this town; but it seems to be generally admitted, that it was a place of but little consequence until the reign of James I., when the greater part of the town was then built; neither was it incorporated until the 13th of Charles II.
