Tresmere, alias Tresmoore vicarage, is situate in the hundred of East,
and hath upon the north Tremayne, east Egloskerry, south Lanest, west
St. Cleather. Under what name or jurisdiction it was taxed in the
Domesday Book I know not. In the Inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln
and Winchester 1294, Capella de Tresmoore was valued xxvi_s._ viii_d._
which Church I apprehend was partly endowed by the Prior or Abbat of
Tywardreth, and the other part by the Prior of St. Stephen’s, for in
that Inquisition I read Prior Tywardrayth percepit de garba de
Tresmoore 11_s._ afterwards wholly impropriated to the Prior of St.
Stephen’s, who doubtless purchased in that title. The parish rated to
the 4_s._ per pound Land Tax for one year 1696, £42. 12_s._
