Background
History
The name derives from the Manor of Arworthal which has had a number of spellings in the past including Hareworthal (1187), Arwoethel and Arwythel. By the 18th century, two names appear on maps: "Perran Arworthal" meaning St Piran's by the creek or estuary. William Penaluna described the settlement in 1838.
