Plympton is a friendly little village with a lively community spirit hidden away to the East of Plymouth. It was first recorded in 904, its old English name meaning “Plum-Tree-Town”. The old part of the village is known as Plympton St Maurice, which used to be an important centre for the trade in locally mined tin. It was also a bustling port until the river silted up and the sea trade moved to Plymouth. Plympton has had many distinguished residents in the past. It was the birthplace of the world renowned artist Sir Joshua Reynolds, who was Lord Mayor and also Member of Parliament for the area. Other notable MPs have included Sir Christopher Wren and in more recent times, prominent Tory Alan Clark. Saltram House to the West of Plympton was the location for the dramatisation of Jane Austin’s novel Sense and Sensibility in 1994. In 1998, Channel 4’s Time Team archaeology programme paid a visit to the village and excavated the area around the old Norman castle and Fore Street with some interesting results. The area is ideally suited for exploring the beaches of Devon and Cornwall and Dartmoor National Park is only a couple of miles away.
