“the town is small, but has fair and stately buildings, the fronts of the houses (towards the street) are all of hewed stone up to the top, garnished with fair battlements n a uniform course, as if the whole town had been built upon one model. The merchants are rich, and great adventurers at sea. Their commonalty is composed of the descendants of the ancient English founders of the town, and rarely admit any new English to have freedom or education among them, and never any of the Irish.” 1614, Sir Oliver St. John
