Madron history
Madron was recorded in the Domesday Book. It was within the Manor of Alverton, an area that in the Anglo-Saxon and medieval period formed much of what is now the southern part of west Penwith. Madron Well was, until the 18th century, the principal source of water for the nearby town of Penzance.
Admiral Lord Nelson
The news of the death of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson in 1805 was received first in Britain by HMS Pickle en route to Falmouth. It is believed a fishing vessel from Penzance passed the news to the shore which was formally announced from the balcony of the Assembly Rooms (now the Union Hotel) in Chapel Street. Storms in the English Channel meant that Nelson’s body did not arrive by sea in London until January 1806.
Penzance Workhouse
The Penzance Union Workhouse was built in 1838 and was intended to house four hundred paupers. It was in use until 1948 when the National Health Service came into being.
