Penzance Heritage & Historical Buildings
Penzance (Cornish: Pensans) has long been in existence but until the 17th Century it was over shadowed by Marazion, further along the bay. Evidence of Iron Age settlements can be found at Lescudjack Castle. Over a thousand years ago, the chapel of St Anthony stood to the west of the towns harbour, near to the current St Mary’s Church. The only evidence of this is the carved face in a pillar standing along side St Mary's Church.
