Trewoon

Trewoon (Cornish: Trewoon) is a village in south Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is on the western outskirts of St Austell on the A3058 road, about one mile from the town centre.

Trewoon is mentioned in the Domesday Book (Tregoin: Hamelin from the court of Mortain) and is part of the St Mewan Parish and had its own manor known as Hembal Manor.

It is a linear settlement, with various housing estates, a village hall, park and playing fields.

The village has many amenities and local businesses: a garage (mechanical operations only), a post office, a busy local convenience store, hairdressers, "The White Pyramid" pub, a social club and a Methodist church (Trinity Methodist Church).

China Clay has played a big part in the villages history following its discovery by William Cookworthy.

The A3058 is the main road through the village and is a very popular commuter and tourist road that links St Austell and Newquay.
