Crossroads in Pensilva village

Pensilva is a village in east Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated at OS grid ref SX291697 approximately four miles (6km) northeast of Liskeard[1]. Nearby settlements include Charaton Cross and Middlehill.

The original small settlement grew rapidly during the nineteenth century in response to industrial activity on the moorland north and west of the village.[2]
