Old website

edit

The current www.treago.co.uk site is sparse and empty, however the older versions found at archive.org do contain some useful information. The pages also refer to a forth cottage called "Butlers", it could be that this is now used for accomodation.

The old webpages also appear to indicate that the heated pool maybe be available for public use (presumably at a cost) with the wording "(open 10am-7pm everyday)". —Sladen 06:29, 6 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

The William Herbert disambiguity article gives two possibilities:

I've gone for the later one for the moment, as otherwise that would put the construction of Treago quite a bit earlier. —Sladen 07:52, 6 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Treasure myth

edit

I have heard a strange tale which I assume relates to Treago Castle. Sometime in the 1980's an aged tradesman claimed that as a boy c 1900 he had assisted in some building work, and had broken a hole through a wall to discover a long cavity with the gleam of gold at the end, which he re-sealed and kept quiet about for 80 years. He thought it had looked like the "lost crown of Britain" (supposedly broken up and sold by Cromwell). After his solicitor negotiated a deal all parties gathered at the location with suitable tools, but he was unable to recognize the spot - "everything had changed".

Brilliant yarn. This is why I love the talk pages of obscure country houses. No Swan So Fine (talk) 10:27, 27 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
