Trematon is a village in Cornwall, England, about two miles (3 km) from the town of Saltash and part of the civil parish of St Stephens-by-Saltash.

History

Trematon appears in the Domesday Book (1086) as the manor of "Tremetone".[1]

William Camden says of Trematon <templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

...you come to the Liver, a little river stored with oisters that runneth under S. Germans, a small towne... Some few miles from hence upon the same river standeth Trematon, bearing the name of a Castle, though the wall be halfe downe, in which, as we find in Domesday booke, William Earle of Moriton had his Castle and held his mercate, and was the capitall seat of the Baronie belonging to the Earles and Dukes of Cornwall, as we may see in the Inquisitions. When the Liver is past this Castle, neere unto Saltash, sometimes Esse... it runneth into the river Tamar, the bound of the whole country.[2]

Trematon Castle, one and a half miles south-east of the village, stands in a sentinel position overlooking Plymouth Sound and dates from soon after the Norman conquest. It is similar in style to Restormel, being a motte-and-bailey castle with a 12th-century keep. It was built on the ruins of an earlier Roman fort.[3]

There was previously a Wesleyan Methodist chapel at Trematon.[1]

Present day

Trematon Hall, a country house set in 25 acres (100,000 m2), is now a conference centre. The village also has a pub called The Crooked Inn.[4]
