Edward III. (1332, Mr. Courtney says), Penzance was granted a market and a fair. Another dim glance at Penzance in ancient times is afforded by the tradition that, towards the close of the 13th century, there was a chapel to St. Anthony near the Pier headland, on the west side of Barbican Street, and that there was another chapel here (the site of which is unknown) dedicated to St. Gabriel and St, Eaphael, and licensed in 1429. The chapel of St. Mary was licensed in 1397. — The history of Penza...nce during the next century is a blank. Early in the IGth we find it a busy trading port, obtaining a charter from Henry VIII. In 1512 ; and, in the middle of that century, we ITINEBART. 89 find Sir Walter Ealeigh here, smoking the iii'st pipe of tobacco ever consumed in England. In July, 1595, an invasion was made by the Spaniards (said to be the only Spaniards who ever landed as enemies on English soil) when Penzance, Mousehole, and Neivlyn were all more or less burnt by the marauders : they were, however, at last boldly met by the natives, when they had recovered their first surprise, and the Dons were driven back to their galleys.
