In 2013/4 and 2024, we made brief visits to Plymouth to try and find out more about Plymouth, Devonport and Stoke Damerel Church:
Additional Information obtained
Book obtained: Devon Through Time
I also obtained a map of Plymouth which enabled me to trace the location of Stoke Damerel Church in Paradise Road in North West Plymouth.
After the visit, I obtained a booklet, Plymouth Dock to Devonport, from the Devon FHS.
