During a four-day period in early August 1814, six British Royal Navy ships commanded by Commodore Thomas Masterman Hardy attacked the village after residents refused to surrender. Using three cannons, two of which are on display today in Cannon Square, the residents repelled the attack. The barrage damaged many borough homes, leaving cannonballs in their walls.
