LYMPSTON ( or LYMPSTONE 0 is a village and parish in St Thomas`s
union, containing, by the census of 1861, 1122 inhabitants and 1400 acres,;
in the deanery of Aylesbeare , archdeaconry and diocese of Exeter, hundred
of East Budleigh, East Devonshire . 2 1/2 miles north west from Exmouth ; 3
1/2miles south east from Topsham and 7 1/2 miles south east from Exeter ,
pleasantly situated on the east side of the estuary of the river Exe, on the
Exmouth branch of the London and South Western Railway, at which it has a
station. It was described by Leland in his history as a "pretty townlet"
with a "great trade in shippes"; is now a fishing station, and from it`s
proximity to Exmouth is also a place of considerable resort during the
summer season. The rectory , in the incumbency of the Rev W H Curtler MA
had the tithes commuted in 1848 , at £264 per annum, with residence and 18
acres of glebe land, in the patronage of T G Cutler, Esq. A small manor
is also attached to the rectory , which is let on life lease, at the
expiration of which the value of the living will be considerably improved,
as the lands will be let at the rack rent, and the proceeds will revert to
the rectory. The church is a fine edifice, dedicated to St Mary,
consisting of nave, north and south aisles and chancel, with a beautiful
tower and five bells ; it was rebuilt , with the exception of the tower, in
1864 ; the date of the tower is 1409. The Wesleyans have a place of
worship here. There is a National School for boys and one for girls, the
latter having several small endowments. There are some charitable bequests
for the benefit of the poor. Sir T T F E Drake, Bart, is lord of the
manor.
