| Pelynt is a village in southeast Cornwall with medieval origins. It developed around agriculture and local trade, supported by its position on routes between Looe and the interior. The parish church of St Pelynt dates mainly from the 14th and 15th centuries. During the 18th and 19th centuries the area remained largely rural, with some involvement in nearby mining and quarrying. Pelynt has since expanded modestly as a residential village. |
