is situated in the Hundred of Powder, and is bounded by St. Stephens in Brannel, St. Mewan, Probus, and St. Ewe. At the time of the Norman Conquest, it was known as Tybesta, and held the jurisdiction of a court leat, and a court baron for the Hundred.
Principal dwelling places are Grampound (Grandpont), Trevellick, Trencreek, Trewinnow, and Pennance. Pennance, in the 1800's, slowly faded, but retained 'memorials of departed grandeur'; when the highway between St. Austell and Truro was built, it cut across a fine avenue of trees which lead from the mansion to the adjoining valley. A brick arch was constructed over the turnpike, so the residents could pass uninterruptedly. This arch, unfortunately, was taken down in the late 1800's.
This is considered to be 'a good agricultural
parish'.
The volunteer as OPC, Creed with Grampound will be available soon.
