My favourite thing about Penlee House is a small china bunny rabbit with the old town crest. Penzance translates as 'Holy Head[land]', and our crest was a pun on this - the head of John the Baptist. The juxtaposition of such a gory image on such a sweet little rabbit is just bizarre!
CURATORIAL OFFICER: Katie Herbert
Direct email: kherbert@...
Contact about our collections, exhibition and long-term loans or research projects.
My favourite thing about Penlee House is the painting Zandvoort Fishergirl by Elizabeth Forbes, because people said it looked like me when I was younger!
ADMINISTRATOR: Sandra Paternotte
Direct email: info@...
Contact about bookings for group and school visits and Friends membership queries.
My favourite thing about Penlee House is the picture The Pied Piper of Hamlyn by Elizabeth Forbes: I think she is a hugely underrated talent and often better than her more famous husband, Stanhope.
ACCESS AND OUTREACH OFFICER: Jonathan Holmes
Direct email: jholmes@...
Contact to discuss education visits, use of loan boxes, children's workshops and outreach talks.
My favourite thing about Penlee House is its extensive photograph collection, and especially the Branwell family photograph albums which show what Penlee House and Park looked like when the Branwells lived here over 100 years ago.
TECHNICAL OFFICER: Jeremy Rice
Direct email: jrice@...
Contact about technical issues relating to the museum and gallery and about the updating of this website.
My favourite thing about Penlee House is the children's playground, because it's great to take my daughter Leala there after work.
VISITOR SERVICES AND SECURITY OFFICER: David Trevivian
Direct email: dtrevivian@...
Contact about volunteering at Penlee House and about security and front of house matters.
My favourite thing about Penlee House is the VC awarded to Joseph Trewarvas, because it was one of the first ever awarded, made from the metal of captured Russian guns and given to this Mousehole man by Queen Victoria herself - that's an amazing piece of history.
SHOP MANAGER: Victoria Reid
Email: shop@...
Contact about all matters relating to the shop, including mail order and stock enquiries.
My favourite thing about Penlee House is The Orchard by S.J. 'Lamorna' Birch, because it reminds me of the field where we kept our donkeys when I was a child.
RETAIL ASSISTANT: Ro George
On hand to answer your enquiries and process shop sales during your visit.
My favourite thing about Penlee House is the bench in the Memorial Garden, which is the ideal quiet, sunny spot to take a break.
RETAIL ASSISTANT: Suzie West
On hand to answer your enquiries and process shop sales during your visit.
My favourite thing about Penlee House is the luggage cupboard - visitors really welcome the facility to leave their heavy bags somewhere safe and enjoy visiting the Gallery in comfort.
