called in Domesday Book Tremetone, “ibi habet comes unum Castrum et
Mercatum.”
It is called in the extent of Cornish acres, 20 (12) Edw. I. (Carew,
fol. 48 b.) in 80. It is said (id. fol. 41 b.) that “Aqua de Tamar,
di. feod. in manu Regis de honore de Trematon;” from whence I guess
that this manor was likewise in Henry IV.’s hands, this being in the
3d of his reign; of which see what hath been said in Leskeard; and
from its being called in Domesday Book Tremeton, and by Mr. Carew
sometimes (ibid. fol. 41.) Tremerton, I guess that the original name
was Tremerton, the great dwelling on the hill.
