More information : (SX 23235833) MANOR HOUSE (NR) (site of) (NAT) Tremadart (NAT). (1)
A private chapel at Tremadart was licensed in 1310. (2)
Tremoderet, now called Tremadart became the seat of the Coleshill family whose heirs sold it in 1711. (3)
William of Worcester's itinerary (compiled in Edward IV's reign)
mentions a dilapidated castle called Boleit (or Bodleit (5)), near
Sir John Coleshill's mansion of Tremoderet, but of this no fragments at present remain. (4-5)
There is no evidence of dateable reused material incorporated in the present Tremadart - a 19th c farmhouse - or in the nearby farm outbuildings.
The 1841 Tithe Map and Apportionment shows a large house at the OS 25" 1907 Manor siting.
There is no trace of the chapel or "castle", however the latter may have been located in the vicinity of the field centred SX 22975852 called Old Court on the Tithe Map. This field presents no tangible evidence of medieval occupation, but the 'castle' was probably nothing more than a fortified manor house. (6)
