  • Three Towns’ Steadily Merged Together on the Ground
    TTHREHREE TTOWNSOWNS The modern day City of Plymouth has grown out of three once separate neighbouring towns - Plymouth, East Stonehouse and Devonport. Nowadays, Stonehouse and Devonport exist as communities within greater Plymouth but, until 1914, each was distinct. Plymouth and East Stonehouse are the two oldest settlements. In contrast, Devonport is a relatively new town. It was established in the early 1700s, growing around the purpose built Royal Naval Dockyard at Plymouth Dock. By 1801, Dock, as this town was originally called, had a larger population than Plymouth. Throughout the 1800s, the ‘Three Towns’ steadily merged together on the ground. There seemed growing practical and economic reasons for them to unite as one. The idea of amalgamation was discussed in 1814, 1835 and 1888. The Mayor of Plymouth proposed a local conference on the subject in July 1902. However, it was the threat of the Great War, and the military’s need for streamlined communication, that finally saw the ‘Three Towns’ joined as one. ‘Cooke’s Stranger’s Guide or Pocket Plan’ of the ‘Three Towns’, c.1826-27 Image:Chris Robinson ‘Three Towns’ or One? In 1814, a meeting of the Port of Plymouth’s new Chamber larger orphanage was proposed closer to Plymouth. This of Commerce saw benefits in a commercial union of the caused a split among the Devonport and Stonehouse ‘Three Towns’. During the 1810s, Union Street was laid- interests because the existing building, near the Octagon down across Plymouth Marsh with union in mind, and on Union Street, better served all ‘Three Towns’. Plymouth’s original Theatre Royal was sited to attract At local authority level, in 1849, both Devonport (with customers from the other two towns.

  • Political Elites and Community Relations in Elizabethan Devon, 1588-1603
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Plymouth Electronic Archive and Research Library Networks, News and Communication: Political Elites and Community Relations in Elizabethan Devon, 1588-1603 by Ian David Cooper A thesis submitted to Plymouth University in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Performing Arts Faculty of Arts In collaboration with Devon Record Office September 2012 In loving memory of my grandfathers, Eric George Wright and Ronald Henry George Cooper, and my godfather, David Michael Jefferies ii Copyright Statement This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and that no quotation from the thesis and no information derived from it may be published without the author’s prior consent. iii Abstract Ian David Cooper ‘Networks, News and Communication: Political Elites and Community Relations in Elizabethan Devon, 1588-1603’ Focusing on the ‘second reign’ of Queen Elizabeth I (1588-1603), this thesis constitutes the first significant socio-political examination of Elizabethan Devon – a geographically peripheral county, yet strategically central in matters pertaining to national defence and security. A complex web of personal associations and informal alliances underpinned politics and governance in Tudor England; but whereas a great deal is now understood about relations between both the political elite and the organs of government at the centre of affairs, many questions still remain unanswered about how networks of political actors functioned at a provincial and neighbourhood level, and how these networks kept in touch with one another, central government and the court.

  • St Budeaux Neighbourhood
    ST BUDEAUX Sustainable neighbourhood development plan St Budeaux is built across a rolling landscape, with a number of steep hills, and as a result some of the western parts of the neighbourhood benefit from wide panoramic views of the River Tamar and the Tamar Bridge. There are attractive places along the waterfront, but this is not used very much by the neighbourhood, as the railway line that runs through the west of St Budeaux separates the waterfront from the rest of the neighbourhood. The A38 is a strategic city route, and forms the north boundary of the neighbourhood. There is a range of local, neighbourhood and district facilities. The neighbourhood however, is lacking in green areas, sports facilities and meeting places. WHat WE HAVE FOUND OUT ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD ■ The housing stock is predominantly made up of semi detached houses, with slightly higher levels of social housing than the Plymouth average. There are relatively few smaller properties and flats. ■ There are few local job opportunities. Most of the neighbourhood jobs are in the district centre. This would explain why a high percentage of people working in the neighbourhood arrive by foot (20% vs 13% for Plymouth). ■ The St Budeaux district centre is performing well. For the past four years it has maintained a steady 5% vacancy rate in its 40 units. The Victoria Road centre has had higher vacancy rates in the past, but the latest survey also shows 5% vacancies. Some local growth might be required to make it perform better. There are also shops and services scattered across the neighbourhood.

  • SS Church Guide
    ST MARY’S CHURCH, SAMPFORD SPINEY, DEVON Peter Hamilton-Leggett 2nd edition September 2015 Thought to have been built as a chapel to the manor house, first mention of the building was in 1257. In the Taxation of Pope Nicholas IV (1289-1291) the Chapel of Sampford was taxed at 40 shillings (£2). Between 1334 and 1547 it belonged to Plympton Priory. The Abbot would have sent out a monk to perform a service perhaps once a month and on special holy days. Being in Latin the parishioners may not have understood the mass but they would certainly all have been present. With the Dissolution of the Monasteries Henry VIII stripped all the assets from Plympton Priory. In October 1547 King Edward VI granted to the Dean and Chapter of Windsor the church at Plympton with the chapels of Plymstock, Wembury, Shaugh, Sampford Spiney, St Maurice and Brixton. Since 1538 the Sampford tithes had been rented to Thomas Whitehedde on a 25 year lease. Between 1735 and 1867 the Curacy of Shaugh Prior was united with Sampford Spiney. Services were rather random as we can glean from the various returns the clergy sent to the bishop. In 1744 the Rev Thomas Alcock writes that he resides in St Budeaux and had a curate (Merefield) living at Shaugh who preaches “ once every Lord’s day ” and that “ The Holy sacrament of the Lord’s Supper is administered four times a year”. “ The parsonage is not lived in because of its state of repair ”. He also notes that there are 18 families living in the parish.
