It is clear from the above figures, that there must have been some
mistake, since such fluctuations never take place in parishes entirely
agricultural.
The present Vicar of Treneglos, with Warbstow, is the Rev. J. H.
Mason, presented in 1804 by the Prince of Wales.
GEOLOGY, BY DOCTOR BOASE.
This parish lies on rocks of the calcareous series, except that its
southern extremity reaches the Downs, where the rocks become
felspathic, as has been noticed under the heads of Laneast,
Egloskerry, and St. Stephen’s.
TRESMERE.
HALS.
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._
TONKIN.
Tresmere, in the hundred of East, hath to the west Treneglos, to
the north Tremaine, to the east part of Devonshire, to the south
Egloskerry.
This signifies the same with Tre Mere, the great town or dwelling. [N.
B. This name, and that of Tren-eglos, are very remarkable in thus
containing a supplemental letter. W.]
This Church, by the name of Capella de Tresmore, an. 1291, 20 Edw. I.
is valued (Tax. Ben.) at xxvi_s._ viii_d._ being then appropriated to
the Priory at Tywardreath.
It is wholly impropriated, the great and small tithes belonging to Sir
John Molesworth and Francis Manaton, Esq. who ought to pay out of it
for serving the cure £6 per annum, lately detained by both, the Curate
not being able or willing to recover it at law. The Prior of
Tywardreth did receive out of the sheaf of Tresmore ij_s._
THE EDITOR.
Mr. Lysons says, that this parish is an appendage to the manor of
Werrington. This would indicate its being impropriated by the Abbey of
Tavistock, as Werrington was the chief seat of the Lord Abbat; but
Tresmere is not noticed in the Valor Ecclesiasticus of that Abbey; but
in the Valor Ecelesiasticus of Launceston Priory there occurs this
trifling entry:
