A DATE FOR YOUR DIARIES.

Sharron is giving the first ever talk about the redoubtable and fascinating Captain John Penberthy, native of Halsetown and first cousin to the great tragedian actor, Sir Henry Irving, to the St Ives Old Cornwall Society this October at the Carbis Bay Memorial Hall.

Quite apt really, as the Penberthys and Behennas were from Boskerris and Chyangweal, and John began and ended his mining career at Providence Mines. Join Sharron, as she relates his truly remarkable professional life, primarily in the Spanish Americas, and delves into his complicated and sensational personal life to reveal the man behind the mask.
