Local History

In the past the little white river, part of the upper reaches of the river Fal which runs under the bridge at the bottom of Fore Street in Grampound, was a deep and busy waterway with a Roman encampment nearby. About 1,600 years ago the Romans built a great bridge here; in Norman times the bridge was called Grand Pont, by which name the village was known and from which its present name has evolved.

The tannery in Grampound has a rich history reflecting its importance in the local economy and community over the centuries. Grampound became known for its tanning industry, which played a significant role in its development. The tanning of leather in Grampound goes back to medieval, perhaps even Roman, times and the large cattle markets supplied the hides. From 1711 the Croggan tannery flourished in Grampound and until quite recently produced high quality leather by the traditional oak-bark method. Manor Tannery, to the rear of the Manor House, was owned by the Croggon family from 1711 and continued trading using the traditional oak bark tanning technique until its closure in 2000.
