Hob Uid: 1188666
Location : City of Plymouth Non Civil Parish
Grid Ref : SX5370056200
Summary : Between 899 and 909, Asser, Bishop of Sherborne, exchanged the minster at Plympton with King Edward the Elder in return for lands at West Buckland, Wellington, and Bishops Lydeard in Somerset. This presumably is the same college for secular canons which William Warelwast, Bishop of Exeter dissolved in 1121 and replaced with the Augustinian Priory of Plympton. The minster is thought to lie to the South-West of Plympton burh, in the vicinity of the later Plympton Priory and St Mary's Church. Indeed, either of these locations may be the site of the minster. St Mary's Church was a chapel of the Priory before 1311 when it gained parochial status.
