Pentewan or as it’s known in the Cornish tongue 'Bentewyn' which means foot of the radiant stream is a coastal village dating back to medieval times. Pentewan was predominantly a fishing community but also affluent in stone-quarrying, tin-streaming, agriculture and farming. It’s originally known as 'Lower Pentewan', 'Higher Pentewan' being a separate and earlier settlement to the south-west of the village, centred on Barton Farm. Between 1818 and 1826, local land- and quarry owner Sir Christopher Hawkins substantially rebuilt the harbour, partly to improve the existing pilchard-fishery and partly to turn the village into a major china clay port. At its peak, Pentewan shipped a third of Cornwall's china clay, but continual problems with silting caused by tin and clay mining plus the rise of nearby rival ports of Charlestown and Par Docks meant that Pentewan's status as a port lasted for little more than a century. The last trading ship left in 1940 when after that, the harbour entrance gradually silted up and though it was still possible for small boats to enter the harbour in the 1960s. Now, although the water-filled basin remains, Pentewan harbour is entirely cut off from the sea and acts as not much more than a historic landmark.
