Penryn, Civil parish and town in Cornwall, England
The town stretches along the Penryn River, with buildings from Tudor, Jacobean, and Georgian periods lining the streets near Falmouth harbor.
Established in 1216 by the Bishop of Exeter, Penryn developed as a significant medieval port for shipping granite and tin across England.
The Penryn Museum, situated in the 17th-century Town Hall, displays artifacts and documents chronicling the maritime and industrial heritage of Cornwall.
The Penryn Campus combines facilities from the University of Exeter and Falmouth University, offering higher education programs to over 6,000 students.
The granite works established along the river in the early 19th century supplied stone for construction projects throughout England.
