Chope, R. Pearse (ed.) Early tours in Devon and Cornwall. Exeter: James G. Commin, 1918. p. 121.Through England on a side saddle by Celia Fiennes, 1695.The fine and only thing in Plymouth town is the Citadel or Castle, which stands very high above the town, the walls and battlements round it with all their works and platforms are in very good repair and look nobly, all marble, full of towers with stone balls on the top and gilt on the top; the entrance being by an ascent up a hill looks very noble over two drawbridges and gates, which are marble as is the whole, well carved, the gate with armoury and statures all gilt, and on the top seven gold balls.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
