The village stands on a creek of the Yealm estuary, opposite Newton-Ferrers, 6½ miles S by E of Plympton r. station, and 7 S E of Plymouth; consists of a straggling group of cottages, among devious lanes and patches of greenery, along a muddy and ill-drained shore; was greatly ravaged by cholera in 1849; and is said to have lost all its inhabitants, except 7, by a pestilence, in the early part of last century. The chapelry has no definite limits. Post-town, Newton-Ferrers, under Ivy-Bridge. The living is a p. curacy, annexed to the vicarage of Yealmpton, in the diocese of Exeter. The church was built in 1840.
