Noss Mayo is a village on the South West coast of Devon, about 10 miles by road from Plymouth. The village is situated on the River Yealm estuary, and is separated from it's neighbouring village, Newton Ferrers , by a tidal creek, which can be crossed on foot at low tide.
Noss Mayo is the smaller, and more humble of the two villages of Newton & Noss. It no longer has any shops, but did until recently have two pubs, The Ship Inn, and the Swan Inn. Unfortunately the Swan shut down recently, and at the time of writing this, it is unknown whether it will ever open as a pub again, although we all hope it does!
Noss Mayo has two churches. It's original one, Peter The Poor Fisherman, at Stoke, and the more recent one, St. Peter's which was given to the village in the 1880's by the 1st Lord Revelstoke, Edward Charles Baring. The original church at Stoke still remains as a protected ruin. |
