Geography
North Tamerton is a thinly populated rural parish and the only village is North Tamerton itself, the other settlements being farmsteads and hamlets. It came within the hundred, and later the registration district, of Stratton. It is bounded to the east by the River Tamar which for much of its length delineates Cornwall's border with Devon, but here Cornwall extends across the river making North Tamerton the only parish in Cornwall which includes land east of the Tamar.[2]
The name Tamerton derives from 'estate on the Tamar'. To the west, the parish is bounded by the Cornish parishes of Whitstone and Week St Mary and population at the 2001 census was 288, increasing to 356 at the 2011 census.[2] The village of North Tamerton on high ground above the confluence of the River Tamar and its tributary the River Deer.[1]
