The Belangiga Bells-- Part 4: Talking About the Cannon Which Was Also Taken

In 1979 it was discovered that the small bronze cannon that was also taken from in front of the church had been cast in  London in 1557 and bore the monogram of Mary I of England.  So, it is a 400-year-old Falcon cannon.  It is located at Fort Warren.

OK, so then what was a Falcon cannon?  A new one to me.

From Wikipedia.

A Falconet, or Falcon, cannon was a light artillery piece developed in the late 15th century.  The barrel would be around four feet long and it used a half pound charge of black powder to fire a one pound round shot 5000 feet.
