Spanish Invasion of Cornwall in 1595


Last year Fr Hunwicke had post about the Spanish invasion of west Cornwall 420 years ago on this day in 1595 at A Great Anniversay for Cornwall

There are online accounts of this relatively little known invasion - or perhaps one should say incursion - at  West Penwith Resources - The Spanish 1595 Attack at The Spaniards Raid on Mousehole in the year 1595 , which cites original letters describing the events of those few days, and at Battle of Cornwall

There is a picture of the church at Paul and something of its history, at the online account of Paul,Cornwall
