MenuPenrose, Cornwall
Penrose is a historic house near Sennen, Cornwall. The estate was owned by the Penrose family for several hundred years before 1771 when it was bought for £11,000 by the Rogers family, whose descendants still reside in Penrose House. The house consists of an irregular square plan ranged around a small courtyard with a U-shaped plan front to the north-west. Penrose (or at least some land) was held by the Penrose family pre-1269. The estate grew as a result of various grants of land and inheritances some of which resulted from marriages linking the Penroses with other leading Cornish families including: St Aubyn, Tremayne, Methele, Erissey, Killigrew and Rashleigh. The 17th-century country house was constructed for the Penrose family, probably for John Penrose who died in 1679. Between 1750 and 1770 Penrose was bought by Hugh Rogers. Hugh Rogers and his son the Reverend John Rogers carried out many of the major alterations and additions at Penrose. It is within the council area of Cornwall.
