The presentation at the Eden Project

Villagers in Grampound are celebrating after being named Calor Cornwall Village of the Year for 2007.A total of seven villages entered the competition which is organised by Cornwall Rural Community Council and sponsored by gas supplier Calor.

Grampound took the title beating off competition from Kingsand/Cawsand, Gorran Haven, Mawnan Smith, Crafthole, Mullion and St Day.

The competition is judged on all aspects of a thriving community village. The contest was close but judges were extremely impressed with Grampound and commended the community atmosphere of the area.

As Cornwall village of the year Grampound will now go forward to represent the county in the Village of the Year for England competition and the chance to share in a prize fund of more than £36,000.
