"LAMERTON, a scattered
village, 3 miles N.W. of Tavistock, has in its parish 1286 souls, and
6788 acres of land, including the small hamlets of Ottery, Chaddlehanger,
North Brentor, and Hilltown. The manors and owners are - Lamerton, Earl
Fortescue; Ottery, Duke of Bedford; Willestrew, J. Carpenter, Esq.; and
Collacombe, Sir W.P. Call, Bart. Collacombe Barton, rebuilt in the time
of Elizabeth, was for many generations the chief seat of the Tremayne
family, but is now a farm house. . . . In the parish are several neat
villas, and many scattered farm-houses. A great part of the soil belongs
to the Rev. W. Gill, of Venn House, and J.H. Clobery, John James, W. Weekes,
and Henry Terrell, Esqrs., and several smaller owners. The Church (St.
Peter,) is a large structure, with an embattled tower and six bells. Among
its monuments is one to the memory of Thomas Tremayne, Esq., his wife,
and sixteen children. Two of their eight sons were twins, and so exactly
resembled each other, that even in manhood they could not be distinguished
one from the other, even by their parents and friends. Their affections
and propensities were the same, and they were both killed in the wars
at Newhaven, in France, in 1564. The vicarage, valued in K.B. at £13.
2s. 1d., and in 1831 at £445, is in the patronage of J.H. Tremayne,
Esq., and incumbency of the Rev. Edw. Carlyon . . . " [From White's
Devonshire Directory (1850)]
