St. Mawes Castle的点评
点评：Tudor Fortress (1540s)
The defining moment in St Mawes' history came between 1540 and 1542, when King Henry VIII ordered the construction of St Mawes Castle.Facing potential invasion threats from Catholic alliance forces in France and Spain, Henry built a chain of coastal device forts. St Mawes Castle was designed as a cloverleaf-shaped artillery fortress to work to alongside Pendennis Castle across the estuary, creating a deadly crossfire to protect the deep-water harbour of Carrick Roads.Decorated with Tudor heraldry, gargoyles, and Latin inscriptions praising the King, St Mawes is considered one of the most complete and ornate surviving Henrician artillery forts in England.
Civil War & Political History
During the English Civil War, the castle was held by Royalist forces loyal to Charles I. However, in 1646, when Parliamentary troops under Sir Thomas Fairfax attacked by land from the rear—where the castle had little natural defense—the garrison surrendered without a prolonged siege. From 1562 until the Reform Act of 1832, St Mawes served as a "rotten borough," returning two Members of Parliament despite having a tiny local voting population.
Having spent a day walking around the town, we concluded it was well worth a visit. The car parking is about the same cost as anywhere these days, and there were plenty of spaces left but this was October. A good supply of art galleries and other types of outlets such as cafes etc. We did not go to Falmouth but the ferry looked like it could be fun.

翻译：都铎式要塞（1540年代）
圣莫斯历史上最具意义的时刻发生在1540年至1542年间，当时亨利八世下令修建圣莫斯城堡。鉴于法国与西班牙的天主教联军可能发动入侵，亨利下令在沿海地区修建一系列防御堡垒。圣莫斯城堡被设计成三叶草形状的炮台要塞，与河对岸的彭德尼斯城堡遥相呼应，形成交叉火力网，共同守护卡里克航道这一深水良港。圣莫斯堡上装饰着都铎风格的纹章、滴水嘴兽以及赞扬国王的拉丁文题词，它被视为英格兰现存最完整且装饰最华丽的亨利八世时期炮台要塞之一。
内战与政治历史
在英国内战期间，这座城堡由效忠于查理一世的保王党军队把守。然而在1646年，当托马斯·费尔法克斯爵士指挥的议会军从城堡防御较为薄弱的后方发起进攻时，守军并未经历长时间的围攻便投降了。从1562年起直至1832年《改革法案》颁布，圣莫斯一直是个“腐败选区”——尽管当地有投票资格的人口极少，但它仍能选出两名国会议员。
我们在镇上漫步了一整天，最后觉得这里绝对值得一游。如今的停车费用也和其他地方差不多。虽然还有很多空位，但当时是10月份。这里有不少艺术画廊以及其他类型的场所，比如咖啡馆等等。我们没有去法尔茅斯，不过那里的渡轮看起来会很有趣。
