Early Origins of the Penwarne family

The surname Penwarne was first found in Cornwall where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manors of Penwarn and Mullyton.

"The manor and barton of Penwarne, gave name to an ancient British family, by whom it was possessed in the days of Hals, and of whose ancestors it had been the inheritance beyond the records of time. The privileges annexed to this estate were considerable. The family, hence surnamed De Penwarne, though possessed of other lands in these parts of considerable value, were bailiffs or lords of the bailiwick of the hundred of Kirrier, by virtue of this inheritance alone. Since the days of Hals, this property became alienated from its ancient possessors." 1
