Abstract:		 Between October 2011 and May 2012 Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council carried out an historic building record and series of archaeological watching briefs on land at Manor Tannery in Grampound, centred at NGR SW 93618 48220. The work was commissioned by Linden Homes and carried out in order to satisfy several conditions for planning consent to convert many of the historic buildings and create a new housing development. The proposed development lies within the medieval village core of Grampound and occupies the site of several medieval burgage plots and post-medieval tanneries, later combined to form a single tannery complex. Three separate tanneries developed here from the late 18th century and expanded through the 19th and 20th centuries to form the complex of buildings and structures that exists today. Due to the rarity of such an intact historic tannery, the site contents and buildings were recorded by English Heritage in 2000 (report NBR No: 105518, issued in 2001). The majority of features identified during the watching brief were related to ploughed-out field systems dating from the medieval period through to the post-medieval period. However, a wide scatter of charcoal filled pits along with a group of related pits remains undated and of unknown function. The building record included all of the tannery buildings within the main complex located in the northern part of the site and also a single structure in the southern half of the site which was marked for demolition. A recommendation for further work is that archaeological analysis (including environmental analysis of samples and some radiocarbon dating) is undertaken to date and identify some of the features uncovered during the watching briefs.
