On Saturday, May 4, much rain fell, making attack impossible. A storming party tried to carry the position that night, but the ground was too slippery, " the mount whereon the castle stood being nere as steep as the eaves of a house. " On the following day news came that Colonel Goringe was bringing relief to the castle, and Cromwell, then a lieutenant-general, was despatched with a force to intercept him. Meanwhile the upper city was being badly mauled on all sides. "A fair tenement, " standin...g between the East Gate and Winnowsty Lane was ruined, as were two houses in North Gate, as well as others. The churches suffered severely, eight being more or less des- troyed. Finally the castle was taken by storm in, it is said, half an hour, and at least fifty of its defenders were slaughtered in the bailey. The Close was, however, still intact. The Chequer Gate rushed, the soldiers at once attacked the subdeanery and precentory, which stood just within, and wrought such ruin that in the surveys of 1647 — 51 both houses are described as having all the habitable part pulled down and taken away by the soldiers.
