These are to certifie whom it may concerne that the dwelling house of 

 the Lady Jane Killegrew called Arwenack neare Pendennis Castle with all 

 the stables and outhousings was upon the approach of the Par, lament forces 

 before the said castle burnt to the ground by the sayd Garrison, and much 

 of the timber and woods growing upon the sayd farme was made use of for 

 the necessary service of Leagurers likewise much of the ground belonging 

 thereto broke up all the workes and trenches being made thereupon and all 

 the fences and enclosures broken downe and layd upon so as little or no use 

 or profit could be made thereof by the sayd Lady Killegrew the last year 

 and much loss was sustained by the t^poyling of the leades and pipes belong- 

 ing to the said house In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 

 11th. of May 1647
