In 1788 Richard Miller bought Penpol from Lord Arundell. A later (Dr.) Richard Millet who had been living at Penpol for some years up to 1863, was accused by his brother-in-law, Dr.Edmonds of poisoning his brother Jacob Miller, by mixing aconite in horse radish sauce served with beef. There was an inquest and trial but he was found not guilty. Since 1921 Penpol has been owned by the Ellis family. Historical information provided by Hayle Town Council from notes by Major Tom Ellis.
