This is the official Website of St Michael Penkivel Parish Council which has been designed and constructed to provide what we hope will be a valuable resource of information to all residents of the village.
A vehicle to find out more about what is happening within the Council.

St Michael Penkivel is a civil parish and village in Cornwall. It is in the valley of the River Fal about three miles (5 km) southeast of Truro. The population at the 2011 census was 204. St Michael Penkivel lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park.

The church is close to Tregothnan in a wooded setting and was consecrated in 1261; probably consisting only of a nave and chancel. There are some fine monuments to members of the notable local family of Boscawen. The church contains the brass of John Trembras, rector of the parish, d. 1515, and others of John Trenowyth, 1498, Marie Coffin, née Boscawen, 1622, John Boscawen, d. 1564, engraved 1634.

The village was used as the main location for the 2005 feature film Keeping Mum which starred Rowan Atkinson, Patrick Swayze, Kristin Scott Thomas and Dame Maggie Smith.
