Preparations to receive the Spanish Armada. The fortifications put into the best state of defence, a boom thrown across the Haven at the south gates, and a mound of earth raised higher than the walls, called the "South Mount," on which was placed several pieces of ordnance. Another mound, the "New Mount," was afterwards thrown up near St. George's Chapel, and a warlike ship fitted out at the town's expense to annoy the enemy at sea, and preparations made to lodge and provision a garrison of 1,000 men.

It was for many years previously to Feb. 26th, 1867, the residence and property of the late Charles J.

Palmer, Esq., F.S.A.

Arthur Wilson born at Yarmouth. He published an account of the life and reign of James I, written with much freedom, and displaying a thorough knowledge of Court intrigues; but the liberties he took in exposing the propensities of that monarch and his son towards the Catholic cause, brought upon him the vehement censure of the friends of the Stuart family, who said that he had written from conjectures rather than from records, and that his work was more like a pasquinade than an authentic history. He was for many years an attendant on the Earl of Ess.e.x, and afterwards steward to the Earl of Warwick. He died in 1652.

He was born at Lowestoft in 1567, and died in 1600. He was called by Dr. Lodge "the true English Gifford or Aretino." His name is mentioned by Michael Drayton, and also in the play, "_Return from Parna.s.sus_." (_Vide_ page 486, Pimperley's "Encyclopaedia of Literary and Typ. Anecdote.")

One penny per swill by day and 1d. at night were charged for carting herrings from the beach.
