Identification
Item: Morrab Gardens, Penzance
Description: Postcard view across the Morrab Gardens, Penzance, with both the coat of arms for Cornwall and Penzance. The crown above the Cornish coat of arms is there because it is a Royal Duchy bestowed on the eldest son of the monarch. The fifteen gold balls represent the fifteen bezants of gold which Cornwall paid towards the release of King Richard who was imprisoned during the Crusades. The head on a platter on the Penzance coat of arms is John the Baptist. This is a play on words as Penzance means Holy Head. The Morrab Gardens was the first public garden in Cornwall.
