Bit Of History

The Seven Stars is a 17th century ale house where time has stood still.
The interior is smoke stained, the bar hasn’t been decorated since the 1950s.
The Seven Stars was granted its licence in 1660, a year before Falmouth was given its Royal Charter and the licensee at the time was one Henry Penial and his spouse Mary-Jane! 
The pub has seen seven generations of the same family as landlords, dating from 1873, the most famous being Rev John Barrington Bennetts.
Barrington served as landlord for nearly 60 years while also serving his congregation at the Parish Church, before his passing back in 2011. 
There are quirky points to the pub, the coffin hatch being one of them, which you can find in the back saloon bar.
