On the inner gateway of the Citadel are the Eoyal Arms of 
Charles II. and of Sir John Grenville, Earl of Bath, governor at 
the time the Citadel was built; viz., (gu.) three horsemen's rests, or 
clarions (or), supporters two griffins ramp., date 1670. This noble- 
man was the representative of the ancient family of Grenville, of 
Stowe. He was created Earl of Bath, &c, in 1661, and was 
buried at Kilkhampton September 22nd, 1701. He married Jane, 
daughter of Sir Peter Wych, Knt., Comptroller of the House- 
hold to King Charles I. By this lady he had several children, of 
whom Lady Mary was born in Plymouth August 3rd, and baptized 
the 13th of the same month (1655); and Lady Bridget born in 
Plymouth February 6th, and baptized the 20th of the same month 
(1657), as appears by the St. Andrew registers. 
Fixed against a very old house in the opening leading up to the 
Old Tabernacle, in what is now Exeter Street, is a wooden panel, 
on which is carved in bold relief, though somewhat roughly done, 
the arms of Castile and Leon, with Anjou on an inescutcheon, and 
surrounded with the collar of some order, which it is difficult to 
identify from the carving, but probably that of the Golden Fleece ; 
the arms are, 1 and 4 a lion ramp., 2 and 3 a castle ; on an in- 
escutcheon three fleurs-de-lis. On the front of a house in Gascoyne 
Street, now pulled down, were two small shields — one had the 
initials I. B. E. ; on the other these arms, three pales and in chief as 
many roundels, doubtless intended for Blackhall; viz., paly of six 
or and sa., on a chief gu. three bezants. The name is sometimes 
spelt Blackaller, and as such occurs in the registers of St. Andrew 
and Charles. 
On a building standing against the old Abbey, and in the church- 
yard on the south side of the church of St. Andrew, over the door, 
is a shield of arms almost obliterated ; it is quarterly, in the first 
and fourth, a double-headed eagle displayed ; in the second and third 
a cross crosslet betw. four owls. The shield is surmounted by a 
helmet and mantling ; the date is about the middle of the seven- 
teenth century. The arms are those of Battishill, of Westwicke, 
Co. Devon, quartered with the coat of Worth. The name of Bat- 
tishill occurs in the registers of St. Andrew as early as 1581, George, 
son of Henry Battishill, being baptized 3rd December of that year. 
On an incised ledger-stone in the adjoining church may be traced 
enough of the arms to identify them with the coat in the second and 
third quarters. The arms are really sa. a cross crosslet betw. four
