A store or repository for grain; a granary or grain warehouse where harvested crops were kept for storage and trade.
From Old English 'gern' or Middle English 'grane' (grain) + '-ary' (place suffix). The word appeared in medieval English texts to describe the essential storage buildings in farming communities and towns.
The gramary was one of the first specialized buildings—after religious structures, every settlement needed a gramary to survive winter, making it as important as the mill or the blacksmith's forge.
