Description
PENRYN
SW7834SE GLASNEY TERRACE 580-1/6/64 (North side (off)) Glasney College remains
GV II
Remains of collegiate church. C13. Rubble with Caen stone dressings. A moulded respond and its abutment rising above impost level, possibly the remains of stone vaulting. Nearby stands a complex-moulded Caen stone sill (not in situ). HISTORY: The site for Glasney College was chosen as a result of vivid dreams by Bishop Bronescombe while he was ill and delirious at Canterbury. In these dreams he saw "Thomas Becket who foretold his recovery, and told him on his return west, to found in the woods of Glasney in the episcopal manor of Penryn a collegiate church to the glory of God and in the name of St Thomas the Martyr ...". (Whetter J: The History of Glasney College: Padstow, Cornwall: 1988-; Roddis R J: Penryn, The History of an Ancient Cornish Borough: 1964-: 42 -46).
