Note 6 — Chapter XI · THE PRISONS ASHORE 3. Perth
Reading edition
This is not the only instance of a church being used as a dormitory for prisoners on the march. When the officers at Wincanton were marched to Gosport en route for Scotland in 1812 they slept in the church at Mere, Wiltshire, and the prisoners taken at Fishguard in 1797 were lodged in the church at Haverfordwest.
