Trematon Castle, located near Saltash in Cornwall, England, is a historic castle that predates the Norman Conquest. It was likely established by Robert, Count of Mortain soon after the Conquest, although some sources suggest it was bestowed to him by William the Conqueror. The castle was the caput of the feudal barony of Trematon and predates the nearby Trematon village. Despite its age, the castle was demolished to make way for a Georgian house built in about 1808 inside its courtyard, which has four reception rooms and six main bedrooms. In 1542, English antiquarian John Leland listed the ruins of the castle as serving as a prison.
