Tonkin adds nothing to Mr. Hals in respect to this parish except the
following short account of the manor of Merthyr or Merther. Mr. Tonkin
cites from Carew, (p. 128 of Lord Dunstanville’s edition,) “Rogerus de
Carminou ten. 20 part. feo. milit. extra 10 part. illius 20 in
Wynnenton, Merthyr, et Tameron.” This Sir Roger de Carminow, for he
was a knight, left this manor inter alia to his eldest son and heir
Sir Thomas Carminow, of Carminow, Knight, who, leaving only three
daughters his heirs, this manor fell to the share of Philippa, the
wife of John Treworthen.
