West Looe, situated in the Manor of Portallant, was granted the status of free borough by its Lord, Otto de Treverbyn, in 1243. Built around 1500, the Guildhall with its gabled porch, outer stair and pillory cannot be missed. It was originally a single storey structure the upper floor being built for use as a council chamber and courthouse after the charter of Queen Elizabeth I in 1587. The local Looe history museum is now housed there. The Cornish seaside towns of East Looe and West Looe lie on the southern route of the two medieval ways from Plymouth to Penzance. First joined by a bridge built in about 1411, the two towns maintained their separate identities even when full Parliamentary representation was granted in the 16th century : 1553 for West Looe and 1571 for East Looe.
