Grampound Village
Looking up the main street from by the church. The only time the villagers get a break from this traffic is when they stop it for the annual carnival procession.

Granite Leather Press Base?
This looks like a granite base for a press of some kind and used to compress some material to force out a liquid. The four (cut off) rusty rods I suspect would support the actual Press Mechanism above and the rectangular grooves lead downwards to a sort of spout in the top LH corner. There used to be a Tannery in Grampound on the site where this is displayed before the housing was built in the last 5 years or so.

A Tannery settling, washing, or draining tank
Some 'tanks' assumably involved with the original Tannery located in Grampound, the last one closing in 2002. Note that it is situated alongside a small stream so might have been for a washing or draining process for the leather products. The OS Map records it as 'Sluices'

Grampound Church and Town Hall
The town hall is, of course, the building with the clock. It is unusual for a village to have a town hall but Grampound has been around a long time and used to be an important market town and a centre for leather tanning. The church is dedicated to St Nun and was first built in 1370 although the small friendly-looking church you see here dates mainly from a rebuilding of the church in 1869.
