News for April 2026

 

Members were interested to hear about the early days of the Penwith Local History Group as recorded in the eleven note books of Gillian Green. It was founded in March 1990 to help The Morrab Library which was in financial difficulties. Later afternoon lectures on the second Wednesday of the month were held to raise funds for the library. Gillian was the inspiration and guiding light behind the group for thirteen years during which time four books were produced.

Look out for the next Penwith Paper and find out why a large boot was being towed around Penzance 120 years ago, and what it has to do with one of Penzance’s loveliest buildings.

Beyond The Bookshelves: Hidden Histories in The Morrab Library is the latest publication and selling for £15. Four other titles are at the bargain price of £10 each. All are available on line so just click on Publications.
