Tremar Coombe
Tremar Coombe is a small hamlet in Cornwall, and is found three miles north of Liskeard. It is in a little cluster with Tremar itself, and St Cleer to the west. Darite is a hamlet found immediately to the north.
The name 'Tremar' is from the Cornish Trevargh, which means "Mark's farm". It is considered an "industrial settlement" in that it was largely constructed during the mid-nineteenth century to accommodate workers at nearby mines and quarries and their families.[1] The suffix coombe is the Old English cumb, a narrow valley or deep hollow (though a word from the British language of which Cornish decends).[2]
