66 Mr William Tremayne chr 09 Oct 1722 Phillack, Cornwall, bur 02 Nov 1806 Phillack. marr Dorothy Rogers of Gwinear 17 Jan 1763 Phillack, Cornwall. (No Issue) H.L. Douch, Curator, Royal Institution of Cornwall wrote that William succeeded his father at the Angarrack Smelting House. He said William bought the Mellenoweth Estate, which he had previously rented, and there built himself a large house. At the end of the century the family fortunes waned, Mellenoweth was mortgaged and the family’s social standing declined. In a booklet entitled, "Angarrack, The Singular History of a Cornish Village", by John Higgans, dated 1986 at Newton Abbot it states Mellenoweth was an estate of about fifty nine acres and forms the South-east corner of Angarrack Village. It remained within the manor of Connerton and ownership of the Arundell family for centuries until it was sold to WilliamTremayne in 1783 for 315 Pounds Sterling. His father first leased Mellenoweth as a sub-tenant of Thomas Glynn of Gwinear in 1737. In 1800 William mortgaged Mellenoweth to a Mary Strickland who, in the same year sold the property with the exception of the Angarrack Inn. In the booklet "Angarrack" it says that when William purchased Mellenoweth he had it surveyed. The gardens covered seven acres with shrubberies, orchards and fishponds and were described by Davis Gilbert in his Parochial History of Cornwall (1838), as the finest garden in the West of Cornwall. Arundell of Lanherne and Trerice Connerton Manor REF AR/3/112 dated 3 July 1784 Christopher Wallis’ receipt of payment from Lord Arundell in Connection, with conveyance to William Tremayne of Mellenowith ( Connerton Manor). In 1783 William is described as the sole proprietor of the Angarrack Smelting House. William had no son to succeed him and in 1804 aged 82yrs and nearing the end of his life, he assigned his interest in the lease of Angarrack Smelting House to Joseph Carne, John Cunnack, Thomas Bolitho & James Pascoe who in partnership with Richard Cunnack & William Bolitho continued the business. The association with the Tremayne family didn't end there as Henry Tremayne (b1801) a great nephew of William's worked there as a smelter until his death in 1854. William Tremayne of Angarrack, Gentleman, Will is dated 23 Feb 1806. His legacies included to the personal representatives of his late brother, Mathew Tremayne all the monies due from him or them to me at the time of my death. Also he gave to his brother John Tremayne all the money due from him at the time of my death. He bequeathed to his, nephew William Tremayne of Helston, Shopkeeper, all the money due from him at the time of my death. Also, he gave all "the messuage stable and garden with rights members and appurtenances to the same belonging late in the occupation of my brother Mathew Tremayne and by under tenants situate in Angarrack aforesaid, and parcel of Mellenoweth unto my nephews the said William Tremayne and Mathew Tremayne, aforesaid Innkeeper. He gave to his servants, Ann Nicholls 20 Pounds and Cordelia Hammen 10 Pounds. All the balance of his estate to go to the children of his late brother, Matthew Tremayne, except Elizabeth Cocke, the wife of Josiah Cocke, who is already abundantly provided for. Lastly I do desire that my body may be interred in the Parish Church of Phillack as near as conveniently may be to the remains of my parents. Witness Joseph Edwards William Baker Martin Nicholas.
