1665 The death of Otto Polkinhorne the last male Gwinear Polkinhorne.
Polkinghorne
Polkinghorne Farm is of great historic interest. The Polkinghorne family (later the name seems to have been
changed to Polkinhorne) were established here from the year 1290, and took and active part in Cornish and
national life through the centuries. They were saved from dying out by recognising female succession and using
the device of permitting the bridegroom to assume the family name.
The present house is chiefly of 18th century construction, but stands upon the remains of an ancient Tudor
building. The charming porch is probably of 17th century date, but the onlty relics of the Tudor mansion are some
blocks of cut stone built into the barn near the house.
The house is now occupied by the Laity family, proud of their dairy herd. Laity is said to be a Breton name and
methinks it is appropriately linked to lait, the French word for milk.
His Heiress Mary married Thomas Glynn of Helston.
Their son Otto Glynn married Elizabeth Pandarves of Taskus.
