Abstract:		 The report describes the results of a small project to conserve a ruined wall on the site of Glasney College, near Falmouth in Cornwall, and to secure the boundary adjoining the wall. The wall is the only visible reminder of medieval Glasney College, a religious house that existed at Penryn from the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries. The college was a major institution, founded as the Cornish administrative centre for the diocese of Exeter: its church was modelled on Exeter Cathedral and in scale and grandeur it would have dwarfed most Cornish parish churches. Following dissolution in the sixteenth century, which led to re-use, dismemberment, and demolition of the buildings, the small fragment of walling that was conserved through this project became the only above ground survivor of the once-glorious establishment. The fragment survived because it became incorporated into the wall of a cottage and stood on the boundary between properties. As a result of this situation it had, in recent years, become neglected and overgrown with ivy and had Heras fencing erected around it to secure the boundary at that point. Working with owners of the wall and a range of other partners and volunteers, this project sought to conserve the ruin by pointing in lime mortar, securing vulnerable stones and stitching together a large crack which had developed as a result of ivy growth. At the same time, the Heras fencing was replaced with a new, bespoke, fence to protect the boundary.
