*************

Polperro (Cornish: Porthpyra, 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. Situated on the River Pol, 4 miles (6 km) west of the neighbouring town of Looe and 25 miles (40 km) 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.

The name Polperro is perhaps derived from the Cornish Porthpyra, meaning harbour of a man named Pyra.^[1] However Ekwall does not regard ""pyra"" as being a personal name and suggests it could be a name for the stream. Early forms are Portpira, 1303, and Porpira, 1379.^[2] The chapel of St Peter de Porthpyre is mentioned in 1398 and the following forms are recorded from the reign of King Henry VIII: Polpyz explained as ""fish-pool"" (probably a literal error for Polpyr), Poulpirrhe, Poul Pier and Poulpyrre (in John Leland's account).^[3]
