Tamerton Foliot

Tamerton Foliot sits in the north of Plymouth, within the Plymouth district of the ceremonial county of Devon, England. Though compact in description, the village also lends its name to an ecclesiastical parish of the same name, a neat overlap of civic and parish identity. Its positioning—named as a village yet located within the boundaries of the city’s district—invites a closer look at the way places are defined and recorded around Plymouth. The shared name of village and parish becomes a small study in local geography and community naming, a useful waypoint for anyone exploring the patchwork of settlements that surround the city. For visitors and map-readers alike, Tamerton Foliot offers a clear, memorable example of how a single name can mark both a settlement and its ecclesiastical parish, anchoring this corner of Devon in both civil and spiritual registers.
