H.L. Douch, Curator, Royal Institution of Cornwall wrote Matthew bought Carwin, Angarrack. He continued on and said, "With the
Angarrack smelting house there was always a pub where thirsty tinners were obliged to spend their time and money whilst they
awaited settlement of their accounts.
Matthew Tremayne kept the Angarrack Inn, and he is mentioned as its landlord in 1768 and 1793. When to be let in 1831 the
advertisement of the Inn had the comment; 'The tin smelting house affords a permanent source of support.' The sign outside bore the
figure and the name of the lamb. In St. Erth, attached to another smelting house, was the Lamb and Flag Inn. This was a mark used
on the tin ingots produced by many smelting houses. Tradition has it that this 'house-mark' symbolised purity in Christian eyes."
A booklet entitled, "Angarrack, The Singular History of a Cornish Village", by John Higgans, dated 1986 at Newton Abbot it
indicates John Hockin became lessee of Carwin, where he settled about 1760. In 1767 he assigned his rights to Matthew Tremayne
for £1021 pounds which was a large sum for those days.
Also in the booklet it was reported that on the 16 th May 1839, and elderly person, Mrs Mary Courts, nee Tremayne, when crossing
the rail road line near the Angarrack incline, was knocked down by a descending train and fatally injured.
