About the artwork

Mousehole is a small fishing village in Cornwall, situated just over three miles south of Penzance. It was once a busy port, famous for landing huge catches of pilchards. The village retains much of its historic character and is now popular with visitors in the summer. Guidebooks and Dylan Thomas (Welsh poet and writer) refer to the British harbour village as the most beautiful village in England. Mousehole is associated with many names. Some say that Mousehole takes its name from the large cave at its western end, which for years was a hideout for smugglers. Others say the name is derived from the Cornish word Moeshayle, meaning "at the mouth of the River of Young Women". Still others claim that Mousehole used to be called Porth Enys or "Port of the Island". Whatever the case, the town developed around its harbour and its floating fleet. Records dating back to 1266 describe it as an important fishing port. The Keigwin Arms inn is remembered for Dorothy (Dolly) Pentreath. She was the woman considered to be the last fluent speaker of the Cornish language. At the inn she enjoyed her pint and smoked her pipe. She was a colourful character and legendary for swearing in a violent torrent of Cornish words when she got angry. Dolly died in 1777 at the age of 87. She is buried in the church where a monument marks her final resting place.
