GRAMPOUND, a small market town, Cornwall, England, 9 m. N.E. of Truro, and 2 m. from its station (Grampound Road) on the G.W. railway. Pop. (1931) 388. On the river Fal, it retains an ancient town hall; there is a good market cross; and in the neighbourhood, along the Fal, are several early earth works. Grampound (Ponsmure, Graundpont, Grauntpount, Graundpond) and the hundred, manor and will of Tibeste were formerly closely associated. At the time of the Domesday Tibeste was granted to the count of Mortain. The burgensic character of Ponsmure first appears in 1299. John of Eltham (1334) granted to the burgesses the whole town of Grauntpount. This grant was confirmed in 1378 as well as two fairs at the feasts of St. Peter in Cathedra and St. Barnabas, both of which are still held, and a Tuesday market (now held on Friday). Two members were summoned to parliament by Edward VI. in The venality of the electors (about 5o) became notorious. In 1821 the borough was disfranchised.
