The Civic Association was formed in 1968, after conservation status was granted to Plympton St. Maurice. It aims to encourage the preservation of the land, buildings and history of the Conservation Area, and the surrounding open spaces.

 

Aims and Objectives

 

• To encourage the restoration, preservation and improvement of the land and buildings within the Conservation Area, and the surrounding open spaces.  

 

• To develop public interest in all aspects of the records and history relating to land and buildings in Plympton St. Maurice and to collect and distribute information of historical and constructional interest.

 

• To encourage community life by organising social activities by working with local organisations and groups and meeting with other organisations that share similar interests. 

 

The Civic Association was formed in 1968, after conservation status was granted to Plympton St. Maurice. It has been instrumental in the removal of overhead cables, and the replacement of street lights by wall mounted Georgian style lamps. It has undertaken projects ranging from the renovation of the old fire engine, to the provision of new curtains for the Guildhall. Each year the Association holds meetings and lectures, and organises a variety of social functions, open to the general public.  

 

Plymouth's growth has caused much pressure on available land in the area. Here, in St. Maurice, one must be thankful that the Conservation Area has preserved its historic identity. Without Pathfields and the bounding agricultural land that serve as a green belt, the essential character of Plympton St. Maurice would be lost. It must be hoped that we shall be able to pass on to future generations the delights that we can share in the many aspects of the ancient borough town.
