grant by See also:Edward the See also:Elder to See also:Asser, bishop of See also:Sherborne, of twelve manors in See also:exchange for the monastery of " Plymentun." According to the Domesday survey " Plintona " was a royal See also:manor assessed at 21 hides, and the fact that the canons of Plympton held two hides apart from these shows the origin of the later division into the priory See also:parish of Plympton St Mary and the See also:secular See also:- BOROUGH (A.S. nominative burh, dative byrig, which produces some of the place-names ending in bury, a sheltered or fortified place, the camp of refuge of a tribe, the stronghold of a chieftain; cf.

borough of Plympton See also:Erle. In the 12th century Plympton appears as a See also:mesne borough under the lordship of the Redvers, earls of Devon, and in 1224 the burgesses claimed to have received a See also:charter from William, the 6th earl, of which however nothing further is known, and the first charter of which a copy is extant was issued by See also:Baldwin de Redvers in 1242, granting to the burgesses of Plympton the borough, with fairs and markets, and the liberties enjoyed by the citizens of Exeter, in See also:consideration of a yearly See also:payment of £24, 2S. 2d. In 1437 a charter from Edward IV. granted to the burgesses an eight-days' See also:fair at the Feast of the Nativity of St See also:John the Baptist, but at this period the growing importance of Plymouth was steadily robbing Plympton of its position as See also:head of the See also:district. In 1602, in response to a See also:petition of the burgesses, See also:Elizabeth issued a charter of See also:incorporation, instituting a See also:common See also:council to consist of a See also:mayor and 8 See also:principal burgesses; a Saturday See also:market, and fairs at the Feasts of the See also:Ascension and the See also:Annunciation. A See also:code of by-See also:laws dated 1623 mentions a fair on St See also:Luke's See also:Day in addition to the three above mentioned. The borough surrendered its charter to See also:Charles II. in 1684, and in 1685 received a fresh charter from See also:- JAMES
- JAMES (Gr. 'IlrKw,l3or, the Heb. Ya`akob or Jacob)
- JAMES (JAMES FRANCIS EDWARD STUART) (1688-1766)

James II. instituting an additional market on Wednesday and a fair on the 1st of See also:August. This charter was declared invalid in 1690, but its provisions were reaffirmed in 1692, with the addition of an eight-days' fair to begin on the 14th of See also:February. The borough, which had returned two members to See also:parliament since 1295, was disfranchised by the Reform See also:Act of 1832 and from this date the municipal privileges gradually lapsed, and in 1859 were finally abolished.
