THE
TAKING
OF
TIVERTON
,
Castle
,
Towne
,
Church
,
and
Fort
,
By
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
.
SIR
:
IT
hath
pleased
God
still
to
blesse
our
endeavours
above
expectation
,
all
the
glorie
be
given
to
God
.
We
have
taken
in
Tiverton
,
both
the
Towne
,
Castle
,
Church
,
and
Fort
,
a
place
of
so
great
strength
,
that
had
not
the
Lord
done
wonderfully
for
us
,
wee
might
rather
have
admired
their
strength
,
than
expected
to
be
Masters
of
it
;
the
manner
wherof
,
together
with
other
passages
since
my
last
,
I
have
here
enformed
you
,
since
our
advance
from
Chard
untill
this
present
.
We
advanced
on
Tuesday
the
14
of
October
instant
from
Chard
,
and
marched
to
Honniton
;
and
Gorings
horse
(
through
the
carelesnesse
of
some
of
our
Guards
)
fell
upon
our
out-quarters
,
and
tooke
some
fortie
Dragoones
and
Foot
,
and
those
horse
of
Gorings
returned
presently
to
their
quarters
about
Exeter
;
wee
quartered
that
night
,
and
all
Wednesday
,
and
Wednesday
night
about
Honniton
,
and
met
with
some
of
Gorings
straglers
and
others
,
we
have
(
divers
)
come
in
to
us
,
and
on
Wednesday
the
15.
of
October
instant
,
we
advanced
from
Hunnington
and
marched
that
day
to
Columbton
,
where
the
Lord
Miller
was
quartered
with
two
Regiments
of
Horse
and
one
of
Dragoons
,
the
towne
being
slightly
fortified
:
but
immediately
upon
our
advance
,
they
quitted
that
place
and
fled
;
We
had
then
intelligence
,
that
Greenvill
was
with
about
two
thousand
foot
that
day
viz.
Wednesday
Octob.
15.
instant
at
Bow
,
and
it
was
supposed
that
the
next
day
he
would
be
in
conjunction
with
Goring
,
most
part
of
his
Horses
then
quartered
in
the
villages
on
this
side
of
Exeter
,
about
Cliffe
,
Silverton
,
Stoake
,
Rew
,
Hucksham
,
and
all
the
Parishes
thereabouts
;
The
Foot
(
which
formerly
did
belong
to
Gerhards
Brigade
of
old
)
then
quartered
most
of
them
at
Broadcliffe
.
On
Thursday
Octob.
16.
instant
,
Major-Generall
Massey
was
ordered
to
advance
to
Tiverton
,
and
so
to
quarted
beyond
the
River
with
his
Brigade
,
and
there
was
the
good
effect
of
that
took
in
the
enemies
Quarters
,
and
Major
Generall
Massey
did
soone
possesse
himselfe
of
the
Town
of
Tiverton
,
the
Enemie
marched
away
,
onely
those
who
were
left
in
the
Castle
,
and
the
Church
,
to
keep
those
places
.
It
was
then
conceived
hard
for
us
,
nay
almost
impossible
for
us
to
hinder
the
Enemies
Horse
from
marching
Eastward
,
if
he
do
attempt
it
with
the
whole
strength
,
except
Lievtenant-Generall
Cromwell
(
with
his
whole
Brigade
)
come
up
to
us
;
And
that
day
wee
began
to
extend
our
quarters
towards
Broadminch
,
and
so
nearer
to
Exeter
.
On
Friday
the
17.
instant
,
our
Generall
Sir
Thomas
Fairfax
sate
downe
before
Tiverton-Castle
and
Church
,
to
take
them
in
,
and
summoned
the
enemy
to
deliver
them
up
,
of
which
being
denied
,
we
planted
our
batteries
against
them
,
which
went
forwards
that
day
and
the
next
.
On
Saturday
Octob.
18.
instant
,
our
batteries
were
finished
by
the
afternoone
,
and
on
this
day
being
the
Lords
day
Octob.
19.
instant
,
the
Generall
caused
severall
great
pieces
to
be
planted
on
the
batteries
against
the
Castle
verie
early
,
so
that
they
were
ready
to
play
by
breake
of
day
,
and
all
our
Cannon
began
to
play
about
seven
a
clocke
in
the
morning
,
against
the
Castle
,
and
the
Enemie
from
thence
answered
us
with
their
pieces
,
but
did
no
execution
upon
us
.
And
after
many
shot
that
we
had
made
against
them
,
a
Cannonier
by
one
shot
gallantly
performed
this
businesse
,
for
he
broke
the
chaine
of
the
Draw-bridge
with
a
bullet
,
which
passeth
over
to
the
entrance
of
the
Castle
,
which
falling
downe
,
the
chaine
being
so
broken
,
our
Souldiers
fell
on
without
any
further
order
from
the
Generall
,
they
being
loth
to
lose
such
an
opportunitie
,
and
loving
rather
to
fight
than
to
look
on
when
God
gives
them
such
occasion
,
which
took
good
effect
,
for
they
soone
possessed
themselves
of
all
;
they
presently
entred
the
Castle
and
Church
,
in
which
wee
had
foure
men
slaine
:
yet
such
is
the
mild
and
gentle
carriage
of
the
Generall
,
and
his
desire
to
spare
the
effusion
of
bloud
,
as
much
as
may
be
,
that
notwithstanding
they
took
it
by
storme
,
yet
he
himself
gave
command
,
that
quarter
should
be
given
to
all
those
who
were
alive
:
wee
took
in
the
castle
Sir
Gilbert
Talbot
who
was
Governour
of
the
place
,
20
other
Officers
,
200
Souldiers
,
four
peece
of
Ordnance
,
good
store
of
Armes
and
Ammunition
,
and
abundance
of
treasure
,
which
was
divided
amongst
the
Souldiers
.
The
castle
was
verie
strong
,
and
the
works
all
regular
.
The
Generall
intends
to
march
on
Munday
for
the
releefe
of
Plymouth
,
and
wee
heare
that
Lievtenant-Generall
Cromwell
did
intend
to
quarter
at
Dorchester
as
the
last
night
,
and
cometh
on
verie
hard
marches
to
joyne
with
the
Generall
