Penrose (Cornish: Penros) is a house (in private ownership) and National Trust estate amounting to 1536 acres, east of Porthleven and in the civil parish of Sithney, Cornwall, England.
[10] The carpenter's shop, situated 100 metres to the southwest of Penrose Manor House at OS Grid Ref: SW 640 256, was built pre-1833 for John Rogers.
[13] Hugh Rogers married Anne, daughter of James Bishop of St Columb, leaving a son John.
[14] [13] John Rogers (15 August 1750 – 22 February 1832) was married to Margaret, the daughter of Francis Basset of Tehidy;[15] he was MP for Helston, Cornwall, from 1784 to 1786.
John Rogers (17 July 1778 – 12 June 1856) succeeded to the Penrose and Helston estates of about ten thousand acres (40 km²), comprising the manors of Penrose, Helston, Carminow, Winnianton, and various other estates in Cornwall, including several mines, in February 1832 on the death of his father.
Rogers died at Penrose on 12 June 1856, and was the first occupant of the family vault at Sithney churchyard.
He served in the Royal Navy until 1962 and ran the estate for around ten years, having taken it over from his uncle Lionel Rogers.
In 1974 he handed a large part of the estate, including farms, properties and woodland, to the National Trust and continued to run the remainder himself.
[18] In 2019, Jordan Adlard Rogers proved he was the son of the previous owner, by a DNA test, and inherited the estate.
