A medieval tannery was a facility where animal hides were processed into leather, a crucial material in medieval society for clothing, armor, and various goods. The tanning process involved soaking hides in solutions made from tannin-rich substances, such as tree bark, to preserve and soften them. These tanneries were often located near water sources due to the need for washing and soaking hides. The strong odors and waste produced made them less desirable to have near residential areas.
