Histori
Sejarah awal
Penryn is one of the most ancient cities in Cornwall and offers a wealth of history. The ancient city first appeared in the Domesday Book under the name "Trelivel", and has since been founded and named Penryn in 1216 by Bishop Exeter. Borough was pioneered and its Merger Charter was made in 1236. The contents of the Charter were manifested in confirmation by Bishop Walter Bronescombe in 1259. In 1265, a religious college, called Glasney College, was built in Penryn for Bishop Exeter to develop church influence on the edge west of the diocese. In 1374, the chapel of St. Thomas (sometimes called St. Mary's) was opened. Standing on the head of the Penryn River, Penryn occupies a sheltered position and was an important port in the 15th century. After the Dissolution of the Monastery by King Henry VIII and the dismantling of the Roman Catholic church, Glasney College was dissolved and destroyed in 1548 during the brief reign of Edward VI, the first Protestant of Cornwall and then the King of England. The dissolution of Glasney College helped spark the 1549 Book Prayer Rebellion. The loss of Glasney and the defeat of the 1549 uprising proved to be a turning point in the history of the city where Penryn had never recovered.

However, Penryn lost her traditional home and market rights to the new town of Falmouth as a direct result of supporting the Parliament in the British Civil War (1642-48). The Killigrews of Arwenack is a more skillful turncoat, and as their new city grows so the old port of Penryn declines from the 17th century to the present day.
