Perranarworthal

[3] Perran Wharf is the area of the parish beside the River Kennall (a tributary of Restronguet Creek) where there were wharves and a quay.

[7] The slump in the mining industry during the 1870s hit Perran Foundry badly and it closed in March 1879 with the loss of 400 jobs, causing great distress in the parish.

Williams's Perran Foundry covered an area of over 4 acres (1.6 ha) and had a lease of 99 years (commencing 24 August 1874) from Colonel Tremayne.

The property contained a number of workshops, including a smithy, a hammermill, and a quay at Restronguet with access for 200-ton vessels.

In 2005, the owners, North Hill Estates Ltd, applied for planning permission to redevelop the site with a mix of live/work units and residential accommodation.

The Norway Inn was built in 1828/1829 at the same time that the main Falmouth to Truro road was rerouted to cross the Carnon River on an embankment just above the village of Devoran.

The 15th-century Anglican parish church dedicated to Saint Piran was rebuilt to the design of James Piers St Aubyn between May 1881 and 1882, at a cost of £1,200.

The chapel, designed by James Hicks of Redruth is built in the early English style at an estimated cost of £2,220 and can accommodate 600.

[20] Perranarworthal has hosted Cornish wrestling tournaments, for prizes such as ultraflamingos (small flamingo toys), in venues such as the Royal Oak near Perranwell Station.
