The cannon of the besieged was superior to that of the attacking force, and we are told that '^ Colonell Gell finding that his ordinance would do noe good against the Manner and understanding that Major-General Craford had foure great peeces, sent two of his officers unto him to desire him to send him them for three or four days for battering ; and in soe doinge hee would doe the countrey good service, because it was a place that could not bee otherwise taken without they were pine...d out. " " Pined 'Ms an old word for starvation from lack of food. Major General Craford at once agreed, and came himself with his large guns and a force of infantry. The heavy guns were first placed on Pentrich Common, and an out- lying battery on that side was taken, but it was found impossible to breach the walls at that distance. The cannon were then taken to the west side (opposite) and placed in a wood, and after three hours' fire a large breach was opened, and the garrison surrendered. Pilkington, who wrote in 1789, says that he saw the breach by which the assailants entered, and several of the cannon balls which were employed, one weighing 321bs.
