PLYMOUTH CHRIST CHURCH is part of PLYMOUTH
PLYMOUTH, is a sea-port, borough, and market-town, having separate jurisdiction, locally in the hundred of Rororough, Roborough and S. divisions of Devon, 44 miles (S. W.) from Exeter; one of its many parishes is Christ Church. There are places of worship in the town for Baptists, the Society of Friends,Independents, Wesleyan Methodists, Presbyterians, and Unitarians; and a synagogue. [1]

Plymouth is one parish that comprehended all the town till 1640; and it was then divided into two, called St. Andrew and Charles-the-Martyr. St. Andrew's parish comprises a section of the borough, and the chapelry of Pennycross or Weston-Peverell; and, in the borough section, it is ecclesiastically cut into the divisions of St. Andrew, Christchurch, Holy Trinity, St. James, and St. Peter.[2]
