The first creeke or arme that casteth on the northwest side of
Falemouth hauen, goeth vp to Perin, and at the end it breaketh into
two armes, whereof the lesse runneth to Glasenith, Viridis nidus, the
gréene nest, or Wagméere at Penrine: the other to saint Glunias the
parish church of Penrine. In like sort out of each side of Penrine
créeke, breaketh an arme yer it come to Penrine. This I vnderstand
also that stakes and foundations of stone haue béene set in the créeke
at Penrine a little lower than the wharfe, where it breaketh into
armes: but howsoeuer this standeth, betwixt the point of Trefusis and
[Sidenote: Milor.]
the point of Restronget is Milor créeke, which goeth vp a mile into
the land, and by the church is a good rode for ships. The next creeke
[Sidenote: Restronget.]
beyond the point of Restronget wood, is called Restronget, which going
two miles vp into the maine, breaketh into two armes. In like order
betwixt Restronget and the creeke of Trurie be two créekes; one called
[Sidenote: S. Feoks.]
[Sidenote: S. Caie.]
saint Feokes, the other saint Caie, next vnto which is Trurie créeke
that goeth vp about two miles créeking from the principall streame,
and breaketh within halfe a mile of Trurie, casting in a branch
westward euen hard by Newham wood.
[Sidenote: Trurie créeke.]
This creeke of Trurie is diuided into two parts before the towne of
Trurie, and each of them hauing a brooke comming downe and a bridge,
the towne of Trurie standeth betwixt them both. In like sort Kenwen
stréet is seuered from the said towne with this arme, and Clements
street by east with the other. Out of the bodie also of Trurie creeke
breaketh another eastward a mile from Trurie, and goeth vp a mile and
a halfe to Cresilian bridge of stone. At the verie entrie and mouth of
this créeke is a rode of ships called Maples rode: and here fought not
long since eightéene ships of Spanish merchants, with foure ships of
warre of Deepe, but the Spaniards draue the Frenchmen all into this
harborow. A mile and an halfe aboue the mouth of Crurie creeke, is
[Sidenote: Moran.]
another named Lhan Moran of S. Morans church at hand. This créeke
goeth vp a quarter of a mile from the maine streame into the hauen, as
the maine streame goeth vp two miles aboue Moran créeke ebbing and
flowing: and a quarter of a mile higher, is the towne of Cregowie,
where we found a bridge of stone vpon the Fala riuer. Fala it selfe
riseth a mile or more west of Roche hill, and goeth by Graund pont,
where I saw a bridge of stone.
