PLYMSTOCK, (Devon) on the Plym, below Plympton-St. Mary, near the sea, bel. formerly to one Child; who, for want of issue,
left it after his death to whatsoever Ch. he should happen to be buried in; and having lost his company and way in the
night, in Dartmore-Forest, where he had been hunting in a very cold season, and being thereby starved to death, the
Tavistock-men hearing it, seized his body to bury in their abbey-Ch. which the people of Plymstock to prevent, possessed
themselves of a bridge, over which they were to pass; but the Tavistock-men ran up a slight bridge, still called Guile-
Bridge, and conveyed the body to their abbey; to which this manor was thereby secured.
