Falmouth, Cornwall


 


Tree: AHP

Notes:
dates from only 1613;  Smithwick or Smithike, afterwards Penny-come-quick,   Pen-y-cwm-cuick; royal proclamation went forth, in 1660, requiring it to be thenceforth called Falmouth




FALMOUTH, a town, a parish, a sub-district, and a district in Cornwall.

The Imperial Gazetteer of England & Wales 1870





It dates from only 1613. Its site, in 1600, had only two houses, -an ale-house and a smithy; but was observed by Sir Walter Raleigh, at a visit he made to the adjacent mansion of Arwenack, on his return from the coast of Guinea, to be eminently suited for a great port, -and was recommended by him as such, to the council, on his return to London. A small village began then to be formed on the site; and took the name, first of Smithwick or Smithike, afterwards of Penny-come-quick, a corruption of Pen-y-cwm-cuick, signifying “the head of the narrow vale;” but even this, in 1613, had only 10 houses. A plan was formed, in that year, by Sir John Killigrew of Arwenack, the proprietor of the site, to raise the place to the importance of a town; building operations thence went on, raising upwards of 150 houses within the next 30 years; an act of parliament was passed in 1652, making this place a head port in lieu of Penryn; a royal proclamation went forth, in 1660, requiring it to be thenceforth called Falmouth; a charter was issued, in 1661, investing it with the privileges of a corporate town; and the enterprises of trade steadily increased the number of houses to nearly 350 before the year 1700, and to upwards of 500 before the year 1750
