Polperro
1 'Polperro' (, meaning Pyra's cove) is a village and fishing harbour on the south-east
Cornwall coast in South West England, UK, within the civil parish of Lansallos. It is
situated on the River Pol, 4miles (6km) west of the neighbouring town of Looe and west
of the major city and naval port of Plymouth, it is well known for its idyllic location,
surrounded by tightly packed old fishermen's houses which makes it attractive to tourists,
and particularly in the summer months.

Wesley visited the village in 1762 and 1768: by 1792 it was possible to build a large chapel accommodating 250 people and Methodism flourished in 19th century Polperro.De Burlet
