THE GEOLOGY, BY DOCTOR BOASE.
The extreme northern part of this parish is formed of a narrow slip
which runs out considerably beyond the regular boundaries, and
terminates on the sea shore; about half of the protuberance is
composed of felspathic rocks, belonging to the porphyritic series, and
all the rest of the parish is situated on granite.
[3] This is in Ludgvan.

TREMAINE, OR TREMEAN.
HALS.
Tremaine or Tremean is situate in the hundred of East, and hath upon
the north St. Mary Wike and Jacobstow, east North Pederwyn, south
Tresmere, west Treneglos. As for those names, they are of one
signification, viz. the town of stone, or stone town, a place, it
seems, notable for those inanimate creatures. This church was endowed
by the Abbat or Prior of St. Stephen’s by Launceston, to which abbey
it was wholly impropriated; the patronage was in ――――: the incumbent
――――; the rectory in ――――; and the parish rated to the four shillings
per pound Land Tax 1696, for one year £42. 5_s._ 0_d._ I take it this
church is now a chapel of ease to Egloskerry, altogether wholly
impropriated as aforesaid.
TONKIN.
Tremaine or Tremean is in the hundred of East, and is bounded to the
west by Warbstow and Treneglos, to the north and east by part of
Devonshire, to the south by Tresmere.
The name in Cornish signifies a dwelling of stone, or the stony town.
[Tre-maen, stone-house.]
It is a daughter church to Egloskerry. The great and small tithes are
wholly impropriated; and only £5 per annum allowed to the service of
the cure out of the sheaf, taxes included, which taxes ought to be
paid by the impropriators of the said sheaf.
THE EDITOR.
Mr. Lysons says that the manor of Tremayne belonged to the family of
Treise, whose heiress brought it to that of Morshead; it has passed by
sale to Mr. John Jolliffe, the present proprietor; but the greater
part of the parish is within the manor of Penhele in Egloskerry.
The church of Tremaine, now a daughter church to Egloskerry, was
consecrated in 1481, by the name of the chapel of Winwolaus of
Tremene, with a cemetery adjoining, since which time it has probably
been esteemed a separate parish.
The benefice, as a daughter church to Egloskerry, is in the gift of
the Crown. G. W. Owen, esq. is impropriator of the great tithes, which
belonged formerly to the priory of Launceston.
Saint Winwaloe, whose festival is kept on the third of March, has been
noticed in vol. ii. p. 127.
