EMENDATIONS OF PASSAGES IN THE ITINERARY OF WILLIAM 

 OF WORCESTER, WHICH REFER TO FALMOUTH HAVEN AND 

 GLASNEY COLLEGE. 

 By HENRY M. JEFFBRY, F.R.S., Vice-President. 



The extracts, on which, comments are here offered, are taken 

 from the memoranda of William of Worcester, which consist of 

 a Latin and English medley of jottings made by him, often un- 

 methodically, in a journey from Bristol to St. Michael's Mount, 

 A.D. 1478. The portion of this itinerary, which relates to Corn- 

 wall, was published by Davies Gilbert with a descriptive preface 

 in his Par. History of Cornwall, Vol. iv, p. 222 — 256. 



Falmouth Villa. 

 Two extracts appear to refer to a town of Falmouth, and 

 have been accepted in this sense by some writers, but may be 

 otherwise explained. 



1. — Falmouth, Villa : ecclesia Penryn, Gilbert, p. 229. I 

 would place the colon after Falmouth, so that the town in 

 question would be Penryn. The MS. probably had no punctu- 

 ation. In other passages W. of Worcester couples Penr^m and 

 Falmouth. Penrjra villa prope Falmouth, p. 246. (The em- 

 bouchure of the river Fal.) 



Fons principalis fluminis de Falmouth and Penryn, incipit 

 apud montem de Nevyle per duo miliaria ex parte orientaie (i ?) 

 de villa de Trewrew, id est per 8 miliaria de Peryn et Falmouth. 

 p. 231. 



2. — Memorandum de lez havyns Cornubise. 



A Pensans usque Plymmouth havyn, et specialiter perti- 

 nentes ad havyn de Falmouth sunt 147 portus et crykes. 



Imprimis circa villam Falmouth sunt 1 47 havyns in t'ra spacium 

 70 miliaria a Tavystoke versus occidentLm usque portiim MarJiy- 

 sew versus occidentem et Pensans. p. 244.
