TREMATON, a village suburban to Saltash, in Cornwall; 3½ miles NW of Devonport. S. Castle here was built about the time of the Norman conquest; became annexed to the Duchy of Cornwall; was the place of a stannary court, which gave rise to the proverbial phrase "Trematon law;" suffered spoliation by the rebels in 1549; and is now represented by extensive and interesting ruins. A modern mansion adjoins the ruins, and was built by the late T. B. Tucker, Esq.
