Newlyn’s long had a tradition of resilience and independence. It’s had little choice, really, being so exposed to the whims of the sea.
Your coastal haven It was already an established fishing community by the time the Spanish almost completely destroyed it in 1595. But it was revived and thriving again by the time of The Mayflower in 1620, and it’s a good job it was: the pilgrims had set off for the so-called New World from Plymouth,
but the water they took was contaminated, so they stopped off in Newlyn to take on fresh supplies.
Newlyn’s had a long association with art, too, and maintains it to this day.
From the 1880s to the early 20th century, ‘The Newlyn School’ was used to describe a community of British artists who settled here, attracted by the low cost of living, the amazing light and the number of people willing to model for little money. The lives of the town’s working people were also an attraction; artists often depicted, for example, women looking on anxiously as the boats left, or being comforted as news of a boat lost at sea came in.
