Boskenna is one of the principal country houses in the vicinity of Penzance.

James inherited Boskenna on the death of his genial but dissolute father in 1775.
He also inherited Boskennal Farm and Bosliven from his grandfather, who had left it to James and not his own son Francis, hoping that theestatewould survive.
This fact is mentioned in Francis' own will "my said children are provided for by their grandfather's marriage settlement".

The ministry of the Octagon Tabernacle of the Congregational Church in Penzance was continued by the Rev. Owen Morris, who married MissHarrietpaynter of Boskenna in 1798. Harriet came from a strongly Calvanistic background. Her brother and his wife, James and Betty paynter, weredeeplyinvolved in the Calvinistic movement.
At Boskenna, where the Paynters lived, a hall was made available for religious services to be held whenevr they could get a "shining light" tostayin the house. Boskenna was one of the earliest nonconformist private chapels."

Extract from John Wesley's diary, Saturday September 6th, 1766:
"At eight I preached at Mousehole, a large village south-west from Newlyn. Thence I went to Buryan church, and, as soon as the service wasended,preached near the churchyard to a numerous congregation. Just after I saw a gentleman before me, shaking his whip and vehemently striving tosaysomething. But he was abundantly too warm to say anything intelligibly; so, after walking a while to and fro, he wisely took a horse and rodeaway."
