According to the history records St Mawes Castle surrendered to the Civil War Parliamentarians “without a shot being fired”. Well, there was at least one, and they now have it on display! The cannon ball was fired away from the castle as a warning shot to intimidate the Royalists. Since the Royalist commander who surrendered so easily, today the castle is one of the best preserved of Henry VIII’s coastal fortresses.
