13th September 2011 & I realised this that there are Pom recorded in these places – certainly in most of the ones in bold

The reason why they moved to Somerset is here! and Plympton St Mary where the priory was dissolved – they bought up land


PLYMPTON PRIORY  was a priory in Devon, England  Its history is recorded in the Annales Plymptonienses. 

History  The site of an Anglo-Saxon minster, Plympton Priory was re-founded as an Augustinian house by Bishop William Warelwast in 1121.

 The foundation was confirmed by King Henry I sometime around then.  Warelwast was apparently scandalised by the loose living of the existing canons of Plympton, and he closed the house, sending them to a new house in Bosham, West Sussex. He then re-founded Plympton, with brethren from Holy Trinity Priory, Aldgate and Merton Priory 

The Priory supplied various local clergy (not always without controversy), and continued to be an important local establishment until its dissolution in 1539. It was the richest monastic house in Devon, and the fourth wealthiest Augustinian house in England and Wales.  The Valor Ecclesiasticus gave its value as £898 0s 8 1/8d. 

The most beautiful place in Devon  Borringdon Hall- the name comes from the Saxon -Burth-Y-Don” meaning “enchanted place on the hill.’ Which has to be the most apt name for it possible –

Boringdon was granted by Henry VIII to Thomas Wriothesley, the Earl of Southampton a favourite of the king– ( and of Shakespeare)   

He sold the Manor to Henry Grey the Duke of Suffolk , father of Lady Jane Grey, the reluctant & ill fated Queen Jane of nine days in 1553. In that same year Henry Grey sold Boringdon to Richard Mayhew of Tavistock.
 Mayhew's grand-daughter married John Parker who inherited it in 1582 who remodelled the manor to the more tradition “E” shaped Elizabethan design, incorporating much of the medieval house.

It was then that Edmond Parker named the building Boringdon House. Colebrook village was built by Parker to house their estate workers and was part of the land owned by the family, which stretched to the old gateway at Plym Bridge. Work on the Manor was completed in 1587 and it was in the year that John Parker gave a great banquet in honour of his old sea faring friend Sir Francis Drake, to celebrate the sea dogs well planned raid on the Spanish fleet in Cadiz Harbour.

Many distinguished quests were present at the banquet including Drake’s uncle William Hawkins, Sir Richard Grenville, Sir Walter Raleigh and William Parker (brother of John Parker) who became Lord Mayor of Plymouth and was most distinguished of the Caribbean Pirateers. William Hawkins was a confidante of Henry VIII and one of England's principal sea captains, having sailed to the New World about 1527. Sir Francis Drake, a 2nd cousin, helped Hawkins in his second voyage.

During Queen Elizabeth’s progress through the West Country in 1588 she stayed at Boringdon, which was one of the foremost Manors in the West Country during these times.

Looking at the Hotel website I can see why!! - http://www.boringdonhall.co.uk/

So Maybe it does after all connect – a privateer could he have been one of Gorges merchant gentlemen?
