Item: Paul Church in the early 20th century
Description: The church tower was built in the early 15th century and, because of its elevated position, became a sea-mark for shipping. The beacon turret possibly allowed for fires or beacons to be lit in case of potential invasion. A message relayed in this way is reputed to reach London in 20 minutes. The height of the beacon is 33.22 metres 109 ft. The Church was burned by the Spaniards who landed in Mousehole in July 1595.
