PennA centre of the tiling industry after the Norman Conquest, Penn provided the flooring for Windsor Castle, the Palace of Westminster and many churches. But the village is best known as the ancestral home of William Penn, the Quaker and American pioneer. There are several memorials to the family in the village church of the Holy Trinity. In the churchyard is the grave of the diplomat spy Donald Maclean, who died in Moscow in 1983. His ashes, contained in an urn decorated with a hammer and sickle, were brought back to England by his brother and buried in the family grave. |
