The Borough of Saltash was founded by one of the de Valletorts, Lords of Trematon Castles, in the mid 12th century. The founder provided a large chapel for the town in the central market square of the new town. The Chapel was dedicated to St Nichols, patron Saint of travellers, sailors and safe journeys where an ancient highway crossed an important estuary by means of a ferry. | The Borough of Saltash was founded by one of the de Valletorts, Lords of Trematon Castles, in the mid 12th century.
