I had almost forgotten to tell you, that there is a well in this
towne, whose water will neuer boyle peason to a seasonable softnes.
At the foot of Saltash, there abbutteth vpon the sea, a rock,
called Ashtorre, alias, Effes Torre, which is inuested with the
iurisdiction of a mannour, and claymeth the suites of many Gentlemen,
as his freeholders in Knights [114] seruice. Below this, there is
a rock on eche side of the riuer, the one termed the Bull, the other
the Hen; that on Deuon, this on Cornwall side. The Hen standeth a
little distant from the shore, which giueth occasion to a Packe,
how between it and the land, the Queenes greatest ship may saile;
but it is meant of the farther distant.
Aboue Saltash, Cargreen, a fisher towne, sheweth it selfe, but can
hardly muster a meane plight of dwellings or dwellers: so may their
care be greene, because their wealth is withered.
Neere thereunto is Clifton, a neat seated house, appertayning to one
of the Arundels, descended by a yonger brother, from those of Trerice;
he maried Hill, his father, Cole.
