Fix this textDARTMOUTH CASTLE—“BULWARKED ROUND AND ARMED WITH RISING TOWERS."
Fix this textDARTMOUTH CASTLE consists of a square and a round tower dating
Fix this textfrom the fifteenth century. Adjoining are three platforms of guns, the
Fix this textlittle church of St. Petrox and the ruins of a more ancient castle, the whole
Fix this textbeing enclosed by a wall and ditch. The hill which rises behind to a height
Fix this textof 300 feet is crowned by the remains of another fort, Fort Ridley, which is
Fix this textmentioned by Fairfax in his dispatch to the Parliament under the name of
Fix this text“Gallant’s Bower.†The round tower of the castle was in recent years used
Fix this textas a magazine, but in former days it held a stout chain, which was stretched
Fix this texteach night during time of war to the Castle of Kingwear on the opposite
Fix this textside of the estuary of the River Dart.
Fix this textDartmouth town lies half a mile inside the estuary, and its charter began
Fix this textin 1226 when granted by Henry 111 to Edward de Gloucester. By 1342 it was a
Fix this textport of great consequence, as it furnished no less than thirty-one ships to the
Fix this textPlantagenet fleet for the siege of Calais, a larger quota than was supplied by
Fix this textany other town in the kingdom, excepting Fowey and Yarmouth. It was the
Fix this textmost famous of all the nurseries of Devonian seamen. Chaucer’s typical
Fix this textshipmen in The Canterbury Tales came from Dartmouth.
Fix this textIt is recorded that a fleet of crusaders, under Coeur de Lion, assembled
Fix this textin Dartmouth Harbor in 1190. In 1377 the town was destroyed by the
Fix this textFrench, who swept the south-west coast from the Isle of Wight to Plymouth.
Fix this textIn retaliation, Dartmouth combined with Plymouth in sending out a fleet
Fix this textwhich ravaged the coast of France, burning and sinking forty enemy ships.
Fix this textIn 1404 the French sought revenge, but their expedition against Dartmouth
Fix this textwas defeated, with the loss of 400 killed and 200 prisoners.
Fix this textDuring the Wars of the Roses, the Lancastrian party used Dartmouth as
Fix this texta port. In the Great Rebellion, the town declared for the Parliament, and in
Fix this text1643, after a month’s siege, it was taken by Prince Maurice. The Royalists,
Fix this texthowever, after an interval of three years, were attacked try Fairfax, who
Fix this textcarried the place by storm in January, 1646, in spite of the number of fortified
Fix this texttowers and ports with which he had to contend.
