Tresmeer (Cornish: Trewasmeur<\/em>) is a hamlet and a civil parish in north-east Cornwall approximately seven miles north-west of Launceston.
\nThe civil parish is bounded to the north by Treneglos<\/a> and Tremaine<\/a> parishes, to the east by Egloskerry<\/a>, and to the west by Treneglos<\/a> parish. Tresmeer, which is a Cornish name, signifies the great town, or, the town near the lake. As well as the churchtown, the other main hamlets are Splatt and Treburtle. At one time nearly all the land in this parish was part of the manor of Werrington<\/a>, belonging to the Duke of Northumberland<\/a>, which was purchased of the family of Morice.<\/p>\n

The parish church of St Nicholas is in the village at Churchtown, but due to a fall in the congregation it closed for worship in 2015. The structure is simple, containing only a chancel and nave. By the middle of the 19th century, this had become incredibly decayed. There are a south porch and an unused north door. The tower was of two stages and finished with a plain parapet.
\nTresmeer was served by a railway station on the North Cornwall Railway line until closure of the route in 1966.<\/p>\n
